About this work
In the center Atlas carries the world on his shoulders. Right sits Neptune with the trident on a globe. Left stands Father Time. Before him stands Cybele, ruler of nature, with the mural crown on her head and a key and scepter in her hand. She looks over the shoulder of a woman drawing, holding a compass. In the foreground two putti display maps. Title page of a book on maps.
