The Return of the Herd is an oil on wood painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. The painting is one in a series of six works (High Springtime is presumed lost) that depict different seasons. The painting is currently in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, located in Vienna, Austria. The autumnal colors of the landscape and the bare trees connect this particular painting to October/November.
The surviving Months of the Year cycle are:
- The Hay Harvest
- The Harvesters
- The Return of the Herd
-
- The Gloomy Day
