Depicted from the side, Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture and time, is seen in a dynamic pose. In his left hand, he wields a scythe - a symbol of his dominion over time. His right hand is engaged in an unusual act - he's holding up a baby by its leg. At his feet lies a ram, adding to the narrative complexity of the scene. This piece is one from a series of seven prints, each representing gods personifying the planets.
