"November" is a small woodcut print created by Dirck de Bray in the 17th century. It depicts a wild boar charging towards a winged cherub holding a bow and arrow. The scene is likely an allegory for the month of November and the coming of winter, a time of danger and hardship. The artwork is a testament to de Bray's skillful use of woodcut printing, capturing the detail and movement of the boar and the cherub with great precision. These prints, sometimes called "calendar prints", were popular in 17th century Holland.
