About this work
Opinion sits blindfolded and crowned on a globe, holding a spinning top. She stands with one foot on a wheel; beneath the globe lie crowns, helmets, and a mitre. To the left, Cupid has fallen backward. To the right, a woman with a palm branch and wings examines a pearl. With a four-line verse in German and two lines in Latin below the print. Numbered in the upper right: u.u.u.4.
