Fol. 8v: Calendar Image for August. This August calendar miniature shows an elegant party riding out for falconry, accompanied by a falconer and hunting dogs. Finely dressed riders—some sharing a saddle—carry falcons, while Étampes Castle rises behind them above fields where peasants harvest grain. Bathers cool themselves in a shimmering river, capturing the mood of a hot August day. Above, Sol guides the sun and the zodiac signs Leo and Virgo. The idyllic scene, painted by the Limbourg Brothers, contrasts with later, more realistic additions by Barthélemy d’Eyck.
