This is a drawing of a mythological scene with an elaborate frame. The image features a female figure reaching towards the sky under a starry night. Surrounding the main scene are borders filled with classical motifs. The corners of the frame display figures engaged in different activities: an elderly bearded man and a child in contemplation, and mythological creatures. The top is adorned with baskets of fruits and divine creatures, while the bottom integrates whimsical and grotesque faces.
