Die Statue der Gelegenheit, ein Passant und die Reue [fol. 8r]

Französische Grafik 1285–1700, um 1512/1515

This is a drawing of a mythical scene featuring figures and structures. The image shows a figure standing on a winged platform on top of a mechanical wheel, holding symbolic items like a crescent moon and an armillary sphere. The wheel is mounted on a spire-like column, and below, another figure in traditional attire gestures upwards. To the right, a tower with a person peeking through an arched window is depicted. Latin text encircles the scene. The drawing style is similar to early manuscript illustrations with detailed line work.
