About the piece

Painted in 1644 by the Flemish master David Teniers the Younger, this allegorical work personifies Summer through the image of a young harvester. Set against a luminous sky, the central figure clutches a golden sheaf of wheat while laborers toil in the background, embodying the timeless rhythm of rural life and the bounty of nature. The fine brushwork and earthy palette are characteristic of Teniers' celebrated genre scenes.
