Tapestry, month of August, zodiac sign Virgo from the series "Les mois Lucas"

In the foreground, the depiction shows field labourers receiving their wages in August. In the background, others are still busy with their work, loading a cart with sheaves of grain and driving in. They are walking towards a gate tower, next to which are farmhouses and half-timbered houses. Trees and bushes, fields and low hills can be seen to the left and in the distance. In the centre, two women are bundling the grain, on the right two men are harvesting. Another wagon is being loaded. Other labourers are busy scything. The monogram of the artist Michel Audran is worked into in the lower right of the floor. The cartouche in the lower border contains the sign of Aquarius.

According to inventory of the Hofbettmeisterey 1769: 4.295 x 3.965 m (7 cubits 14 inches x 7 cubits).

The height measurement generally given for the series as 7 cubits 14 inches, i.e. 4.295 m in the written sources, is to be regarded as ideal. It can be assumed that there were differences of at least ± 10 cm.
