"Ovale medaillons met de maanden Juli en Augustus" (Oval Medallions with the Months July and August) is a pair of engravings by Dutch artist Bartholomeus van Lochom dating back to 1630-1635. They are currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The small, detailed images, each depicting a scene from the respective month, are set within oval frames. The months are inscribed below the images in elegant cursive script. These engravings represent a specific genre of art known as "monthlies", depicting the activities and landscapes typical of each month in a specific region.
