South Wind

In the sky the naked Auster, the south wind. In his right hand he holds a sprinkler from which rain, thunder and lightning are poured over the world. Ops, the goddess of agriculture, follows him and guides earthly souls to heaven. In her hands various agricultural tools. In the left corner Phoenicias blows. In the right corner Libonotes blows. At the bottom an African landscape near the Nile Delta. African hunters defend themselves against crocodiles. In the margin a Latin inscription with an explanation of the south wind. The print is part of a four-part series on the four cardinal winds.
