Melancholic Temperament

Saturn sits on a cloud and eats one of his children. He represents the planet of the same name. Above him stand three zodiac signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, which correspond to the element earth. Below him, on earth, people with a melancholic temperament, ruled by him. Astrologers and geographers conduct research, and on the left, people hang themselves from a tree. At the bottom of the margin, a text in Latin about the melancholic and Saturn. This print is part of an album.
