About this work
Luna, the moon, sits on a cloud and holds the crescent moon in her hand. Above her stand three zodiac signs: Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer, which correspond to the element water. Below her, on earth, people with a phlegmatic temperament, ruled by her. On the right, duck hunters; in the background, fishermen and sailors at work. At the bottom of the margin, a text in Latin about the phlegmatic and Luna. This print is part of an album.
