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 autumnal colors of the landscape and the bare trees connect this particular painting to October/November.
