Drawing shows the globe of the Earth, belted by astrological signs; an angel, accompanied by Death and a Gorgon, blows a trumpet at left, while cherubs drape a garland across the front of the globe, and Father Time, with hourglass and scythe, stands over it, pouring dust upon the Earth from the palm of his hand.
