This 19th century print by J. Robyn, titled "Vermaak uwe oogen, jeugd! in 't zevental planeeten" is a colorful illustration of the seven planets known in the artist's time. The central image is a stylized representation of the solar system, with the planets depicted as human figures standing on pillars and arranged in a semicircle. The print is a visual representation of the concept of the planets orbiting the sun, as well as a reflection of the astronomical knowledge of the time. The print is an example of a 19th-century Dutch broadside, a type of printed sheet with text and images that was used to disseminate information and entertainment. This artwork is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
