An attractive portrait of the winged Astrologia and an unidentified male figure. She sits surrounded by tomes of celestial theories, including those of Ptolemy, and works upon a celestial globe to predict the future, "Futura Mente Praevidet". Restoration to a small tear in the lower margin, extending into the title panel, and the lower left corner. This attractive piece is signed Floris, perhaps Floris Balthasar of Delft, or one of his descendents who became publishers in Amsterdam.
