February with the sign of Pisces, As the inscription below states, the subject of this painting is the month of February. The sign of the zodiac sign Pisces is depicted on a relief with a black background. The boat may have been derived from the Le Douze Mois Grotesques carpet series designed by Claude III Audran (1658-1734) around 1709, which was printed by Jean Audran (1667-1756). A similar boat can be seen on the print with the first two months in February. Instead of Neptunes, the god of protection of February, the painting shows the sea god Okeanos. He can be recognized by his long beard and horns and is surrounded by snakes and fish as usual., Jan Kamphuijsen, 1791, panel, oil paint (paint), h 332 cm × w 30.4 cm × d 3.2 cm
