Allegory of time, Father Time as a winged old man with a scythe in the left hand, a skull in the right hand. He rides in his triumphal cart, the wheels of which are marked with the 12 months and with a saying in German and the artist's initials on the front. The chariot, which is pulled by two deer, runs over attributes that refer to ecclesiastical and secular power, to the arts, science, money and war. Top left figures in the clouds going to heaven. Bottom right figures in hell. The angel of the apocalypse blows the trumpet. With three columns caption in German.
