He wears a long mantle and an undercoat, his armor lies at his feet. The standard is floating from the foremast. Behind him, with a shield and a spear, stands Minerva donating a branch of laurel to Columbus. Behind Minerva is Mars. Close to Mars are two Sirens. In the sea are some harpies. On the left, what is similar to the east, the sun rises over the new land just discovered. Scan created 11. Dec. 2005, original early 17th century. Theodore D
