About this work

Landscape with Father Time, as a naked winged man with scythe and hourglass, crowning the female personification of Happiness (Felicitas) and Wealth (Opulentia), with a cornucopia of fruit and a horn of jewelry, with a laurel wreath. On the left in the background a king dispensing justice. On the right in the background a family at the meal and beggars asking for alms. In the margin an eight-line inscription, in two columns, in Latin referring to the virtues.
