Engraving from the workshop of Jacob de Gheyn (II), depicting the melancholic temperament in the form of a sad-looking scientist in thoughtful posture, seated on a globe, a compass in the right hand. Associated with the element of Earth, mountains are shown in the background. Part of a series on the four temperaments each aligned with their repsective element.
