Notes
English: Ovid's Metamorphoses Book XV, l. 234: Time, Devourer of [All] Things, and you, awful Old Age, you destroy everything...


Rubinstein includes a full diagram of the painting with annotations of each known item, including its collection at the time of Posthumus's painting, but it is probably better to wait for a higher resolution image to include all the notes.
