About this work
Father Time with a scythe and hourglass holds draperies aside. A winged woman writes in a book. She is pointed out the Asian figures, animals, and the landscape in the background by a woman with the sun on her head. Next to her, three putti. At the top, Fame flies with a trumpet and laurel wreath.
