The image is an allegorical engraving from the 17th century entitled Omnis dies, omnis hora, qvam nihil sumus, ostendit, ‘Every day, every hour shows us how insignificant we are’, which makes us see our own nothingness. The work is part of the famous Thesaurus Philo-Politicus series, published by Daniel Meisner and Eberhard Kieser in Frankfurt from 1623 onwards.
