Visual Description

A robed, bearded astrologer sits on an ornate chair patterned with crescent moons, holding a rolled scroll on a small table while peering through a long telescope. He points upward with one hand toward a large eight-pointed star in a sky scattered with smaller stars; the Roman numeral XVII appears at the top. Behind him a town with red-roofed towers rises against a pale horizon and vertical blue drapery suggests a window or curtain. The floor is a checked tile and the scene is rendered in muted, hand-colored tones.
