March - working in the vineyard, 15th century, (1939). Two labourers among the bare vine stocks: the man bending over on the left is hoeing the ground to turn the earth over. The one on the right carries a billhook at his waist, used for pruning the vines. Detail of a page from the "Heures de Charles d'Angoulême", a book of hours commissioned by Charles of Orléans (1459-1496), with miniatures mostly painted by Robinet Testard, and now in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. Published in "Verve - No. 8, Vol. II". [Verve, France, 1939]
