A bearded man in Renaissance dress holds a compass and gazes directly outward, his sharp features rendered in warm flesh tones against a dark doublet and an elaborate white ruffled collar. Behind his head swirls a cosmic field of stars and nebulae in deep blues and golds, merging the scientist's earthly presence with the celestial mysteries he sought to understand. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
