The painting on f. 26v shows a scene when the work on the winter crops – wheat and rye – begin. A peasant can be seen in the foreground with a knife in his belt guiding a harrow drawn by two horses. Next to him is a sower with an apron-like bag hanging from his shoulder full of seed which he scatters over the field. Opposite these two is a farmer holding the plough handle that guides the ploughshare being drawn by a team of horses. Several birds including hooded crows, unrelated to the aristocratic world but part of the reality in the country, peck at the furrows in the tilled earth. Further on, to the left, is a swineherd striking an oak tree with a stick to make acorns fall down to feed the herd around him. In the background is a fenced farm with people outside. The peasants’ garb indicates the onset of cold weather.
