Frederick is shown climbing up, sitting on top of, and falling off a large wheel. In each of these progressive stages he is labeled (left to right): friderich Churfürst, friderich könig, friderich. Abraham Scultetus and Ludwig Camerarius are turning the wheel. Behind the wheel is a lake or river upon which a ship is sailing, and two towns are visible on the opposite bank. To the right Frederick is in a net in the water, being pulled out by a group of men
