September is a 1601 ink by Ludovico Mattioli, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a quiet countryside scene in black and white. A small house sits under a tree with a barrel on its roof. The tree has a few ripe grapes hanging from its branches. In the background, two people walk along a path near a river, and hills roll in the distance. The word "SEPTEMBER" is printed at the bottom, hinting this is part of a series showing months of the year. The artist used fine lines to create texture, like the ripples in the water or the folds in the clothes of the people. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
