About this work

The painting shows four scenes, each representing a season. It's interesting because the scenes are arranged in a way that tells a story. The details in each scene, like the clothing and activities, give clues about what time of year it is. Check out the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists use light and dark to create depth in their work.
