The print, part of a private collection, invites us to delve into the world of celestial exploration and astronomy. The intricate details depicted in this artwork highlight the craftsmanship and precision involved in creating such scientific instruments. An armillary sphere is a model representing various celestial circles and rings surrounding our Earth.
