August 30 - 1793

"August" is an oval-shaped print from a series created by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1793. The scene depicts a group of people harvesting wheat in a field. It showcases the artist's mastery of detail and composition, evident in the intricate depiction of the figures, the landscape, and the sky. This print was likely part of a larger set, possibly an almanac or calendar, and is an excellent example of neoclassical art. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this print, a testament to the artist's enduring legacy in the world of art.
