You see an old man representing Saturn, turned to the left. He's resting on a stick, looking old and wise. This painting is interesting because it's part of a series showing the planets from classical astronomy. The series is special because it includes the celestial spheres. These spheres separate the planets from the Supreme Entity, which is the origin of everything. Check out more art like this at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
