Xilogravura de um astrônomo barbudo de túnica marcando um globo com compasso em um estúdio, com outro globo e uma janela.

Astrônomo com compasso e globo, xilogravura de Jost Amman, 1568

Um homem barbudo de longa túnica se debruça sobre um globo celeste em um estúdio e usa um compasso para marcar pontos em sua superfície. Sobre a mesa há um segundo globo e uma esfera semelhante a um armilar, e à esquerda aparecem nuvens e um edifício distante pela janela. As linhas paralelas finas da xilogravura definem as dobras e a cortina à direita.
