= Part of the series Recueil de 283 estampes gravées à l'eau forte d'après les dessins originaux... que Mons. Evrard Jabach de Cologne. Mythological scene representing Jupiter, flanked by Mercury and Neptune, and pissing in a cloth bag, on the right Oenopeus, arms outstretched, addressing the gods, and nearby a house with his wife standing at a window. In the renaissance this was seen i.a. as the allegory of the three-fathered 'philosophical child' (a symbol in alchemy).
