Summer A girl in a lavender and white frock and a youth in orange are caught love-making at th edge of a ripened wheat field by a farmer bending the stalks to reap them with his sickle; blue sky above, beyond the spreading foliage of an oak. |
|
Autumn Verdant landscape, before a lake with a lattice of tree trunks at left screening the blue sky; a youth in orange is kneeling at the side of a girl in green and rose frock, placing a bunch of blue grapes in her lap. |
