In the centre of a page is a woodcut print of a man, standing up straight with his arms to his side, showing his palms to the viewer. He is illustrated on a plain, empty background. His face shows a tired expression, and his naked body is covered with illustrations of the twelve zodiac signs. The zodiac signs of creatures are depicted as animals, with human-like expressions, and the others are human personifications. They climb up the man’s figure and interact with him, rather than being superimposed.
