The image features a detailed artwork that contains a large central circular map placed on a sheet with intricate decorations surrounding it. The map appears to be in the style of an old world map, showing continents such as Africa, Europe, and parts of Asia prominently, with other parts of the world partly visible. The map is detailed with geographic lines indicating latitude and longitude.
Surrounding the map, there are elaborately drawn scenes that evoke themes from history, exploration, and possibly mythology. On the left side, there is a figure seated in classical attire that could represent a philosopher or a historical figure from antiquity. On the right side, there are figures that seem to be engaged in observation or scientific inquiry, with one of them holding an armillary sphere – a model of objects in the sky.
The top right corner contains the phrase "Tab geograph Il," which suggests this is the second geographical table in a series, perhaps from an atlas or educational book. Below the map, various figures are shown in various poses, engaged in scholarly activities or teaching, implying a connection to learning and the dissemination of knowledge related to geography.
On a closer observation, the decoration includes elements that may represent different cultures or parts of the world—such as palm trees, a pillar, and characters that could be from different historical periods or regions.
The use of sepia tones gives the whole artwork a vintage or antiquated look. It's a fusion of cartography and fine art, likely intended to educate and inspire wonder about the world.

On the top right, there is another scene with a group of individuals in period clothing, possibly scholars or travelers, engaged in various activities, which gives an impression of discovery or exploration.
