Très riches heures du Duc de Berry-manuscripts(18/?)

This manuscript dates back from 1412-1416. The imagine is the “Labours of the month June” and shows women reaping the harvest, beside the Hotel de Nesle (Parisian residence of the Duke). (x)

I just love medieval images of women, living their day to day life. It makes me feel connected to previous generations of women.
