This print shows five people standing on a balcony with a countryside view. Two women in the middle hold hands, while a man and boy on the left look down. On the right, another man points toward the scene below—a village with a windmill and a dog. The balcony has ornate carvings, and the background includes trees and a sky with clouds. The words around the bottom spell out *"L'ESTE"* (French for "Summer"), matching the title. The small scene below the balcony feels like a stage, with tiny figures doing everyday things. Next, look up Baroque to see how this dramatic style shaped art.
