Scene representing October, from the 15th-century Très Riches Heures (known as the “king of illuminated manuscripts”). Note the rather bored looking seed-sower and scarecrow with bow and arrow. The scene is taking place at what would now be the centre of Paris (a block or two south of l’École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts).
