About this work
In the air floats the planet god Sol, the sun. In the foreground the personifications of Honos, Honour, represented as a soldier and a virtuous housewife who is spinning. In the background a knightly tournament. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a seven-part series on the power of the seven planets over the seven ages of man.
