About this work
Luna, the moon, with a hunting horn in her hand, sits in a chariot, which is drawn in the sky by two girls. The sign of Cancer indicates who belong to the sphere of influence of the moon. The people, who are born under this zodiac sign, all do something with water. In the foreground fishermen are at work and someone is swimming. In the background ships are sailed by sailors. At the bottom of the margin a text in Latin about the children of Luna.
