Provenance
Sale, Bonhams, 4 December 2019, lot 3, where purchased by the present owner
A Wooded landscape with a hawking party in the foreground, shepherds shearing their flock beside an ornamental fountain and farmers harvesting a hayfield beyond of the same dimensions as the present pair was offered at Phillips, London, 4 July 1995, lot 31. This latter work could depict Summer, suggesting that the three together formed part of a series of the Four Seasons or the Months of the Year.
