This was one of a series of the Twelve Months planned by Pieter Nolpe but incomplete when he died in 1652. The plates were bought by Frederick de Wit, who renamed this plate 'Autumn' and issued it as one of a set of 'Four Seasons'; with some of the other plates becoming the 'Four Elements' See BM 1871,0812.3941 - 3944 for de Wit's 'Seasons'.
