This engraving shows a robed angel floating against a starry sky. The angel holds a glowing orb in one hand. The other hand points upward. This image is part of a set meant to link earthly life to the heavens. Each engraving matches a planet or cosmic layer. The angel here sits at the ninth sphere, the edge of the physical universe. Look up the same artist’s work at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
