(7) The Pedlar, map of Ursa Major

Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) is a hidden image. This map shows the way only part of Ursa Major is visible in the painting. It is marked by the line of the roof of the building, and an imaginary line from the corner of the roof to a small bird in the tree just over the peddler's head. The long pole leaning against the side of the building is exactly the length of the "missing" imaginary line from the corner of the buildng to the small bird.
