Emblem XXIII from Atalanta Fugiens by Michael Maier, 1618
An engraved emblem plate shows a bearded man reclining on a stone ledge while a younger figure in a tunic works at a furnace on the left, and an eagle perches beside him. In the background, a sky with a figure and a distant group of reclining nude figures by a tent suggests a landscape scene. Printed text above and below frames the image.
