This drawing, "Tweede blad van een driedelig beweegbaar planetarium," is one of three parts of a movable planisphere, dating back to 1695-1726. The anonymous artist created a detailed illustration of a circular device with concentric rings and markings, perhaps used for astronomical calculations or for teaching about the solar system. The Rijksmuseum holds this piece, measuring 484mm x 479mm, as an example of scientific illustration from the Dutch Golden Age.
