This is an old printed page, likely from a book, showing an etching or engraving. The image consists of two figures situated on either side of a large coat of arms or emblem that features a central shield with symbols including crosses and what might be plants or floral motifs. The motto "VIRTVS VINCIT" is written across the top. On the left, one figure is seated, draped in classical clothing, reading a large book resting on their lap. The setting includes a tree and landscape in the background, suggestive of a serene environment. On the right, the other figure is standing, garbed in what appears to be armor with flowing fabric, and is carrying a scythe over their shoulder while holding a lantern in the other hand. This figure also has classical clothing elements and is positioned in front of an architectural structure, perhaps a small building or tombstone. The bottom of the image contains Latin text, which is likely to provide context or commentary related to the imagery, often the case in heraldic or emblematic illustrations from historical texts. The page itself shows signs of aging, with browning edges and spots that suggest it is quite old. The image is numbered "19" on the top right corner, indicating its sequence within the source material.
