About this work
In the air floats the planet god Jupiter, sitting on an eagle. In the foreground the personification of Memoria, memory. She has a can-shaped headgear on her head and holds a distilling instrument. Next to her stands Old Age, represented as a judge. In the background examples of justice and punishment. 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.
