About this work
The god Saturn with a sickle in his hand. He rides in a triumphal chariot drawn by two dragons. On the cart a small child. In the top left the constellation Capricorn, on the right Aquarius. At the bottom a hilly landscape with cities. In the foreground people are engaged in mining and a castle is being built. In the margin a Latin panegyric on the influence of the planet Saturn on the mountainous regions of Europe. The print is part of a seven-part series on the influence of the planets on the world.
