This 1607 engraving, titled "Eeuwigdurende kalender met randvignetten en mes," is a complex and detailed perpetual calendar, likely meant to be used as a teaching tool. The artwork is divided into sections with different depictions of the zodiac signs, constellations, celestial bodies, and biblical scenes. At the bottom is a depiction of a knife, and the inscription around it might indicate the maker or the purpose. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of the intricate and informative art that flourished in the early modern period.
