The bearded German scholar is depicted with utmost accuracy, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail that Amman was known for. His focused expression reflects the dedication and passion required for studying celestial bodies and mapping out our vast universe during this era of scientific exploration. The presence of a compass suggests the astronomer's involvement in cartography as well, emphasizing his role as both a geographer and cosmographer.
