Which leaves The Return of the Herds?

So the possibilities for The Gloomy Day also range over three months--and it and the Hunters may even be in reverse order. Haymaking is a little more tightly confined, within a range of only two possible readings. For Hulin de Loo, Michel, and Glück, it’s June, the month clearly established by the baskets full of beans and cherries being carried down toward the valley by the peasant women in the foreground. But in Hennessy and Grimani, haymaking itself, the activity that occupies all the middle ground of the picture, is the main theme of July; as Stechow points out, the Netherlandish word for July is Hooimaand, “hay moon.” For Michel and Glück, though, July is the month of The Corn Harvest. But Stechow reminds us that Oegtmaand, “harvest moon,” is August—the month for which Tolnay says harvesting, the peasants’ repast, and their siesta are all themes in the calendars; though he opens the possibility of a third month here as well when he warns that what appears to be a game of boules in the middle ground could be alluding to September.
Which leaves The Return of Herds. This is apparently not a theme that figures in the calendars, but Tolnay believe it’s Bruegel’s adaptation of the return from the hunt, which the Calendrier flamand offers for November. Michel and Glück concur, and Hulin de Loo notes the bareness of the trees and can somehow feel a cold wind blowing in the picture, both of which also suggests November. But then Tolnay draws attention to the ripe vineyards and nets in the valley below and points out that both the wine harvest and the netting of birds are traditional for October. Stechow is likewise of two minds here though at any rate not three.

请问：上文中下划线的Which指代什么？leaves这里是指“剩下”吗？

He Zi's understanding is right
