An image of the constellation Auriga in
El Jardín de las Delicias/The Garden of Delights is like the one in Bruegel's drawing of
The Beekeepers, but much less precise. It more or less resembles the constellation as it appears in the sky and on a modern star map (that is, not reversed left to right). Like the image of Orion in
The Pedlar, the image of Auriga can be identified with some certainty because the painting includes other surrounding constellations, which will be shown above in a larger map.
