A drawing of a landscape setting with a young man standing in the centre watering plants with one hand and producing plants from the ground by means of a lance held in the other. Venus approaches in her shell on the left. The genitals of Uranus held by a hand emerge from a cloud. In the sky, upper right, Taurus the bull leaps forward. The tableau is surrounded by decorative borders with plants. There is an empty cartouche as in RCIN 906853. Inscribed within the upper border: Aprilis aperit terram germinandum, spumantemque Venerem ad giguendum. This is a design for one of a series of tapestries (RCIN 906853-906860, RCIN 913024) illustrating the Months.

Although these drawings form part of what are probably four series, almost certainly representing designs for tapestries, they are clearly by the same hand, or possibly hands. It should, however, be noted that Nicholas Turner suggests that they may be connected with Francesco Salviati. They are possibly related to tapestries for the Fabbrica degli Arazzi in Florence, founded by Cosimo de' Medici. The paper, however, has a French grapes watermark, type of Briquet 13073-4, c. 1565-87. The drawing may be the work of a foreign artist active in France during the reign of Charles IX (1560-74).
