Engraving of bearded Saturn with a scythe and a winged angel leaning over him beside a large circle, with Latin caption below.

Astronomy: Saturn with his scythe, above, an angel looking heavenward. Engraving by N. Dorigny, 1695, after Raphael, 1516.

An engraved print shows a bearded, older male figure seated in the foreground, holding a scythe and a book, while a winged youth leans over his shoulder toward a large circular arc. Fine parallel hatching shapes the drapery and sky, and a Latin inscription naming Saturn appears in the lower margin.
