This is an etching or engraving showing a religious figure, identified at the top as "S. OPTATVS MILEVIT." The portrayal is of a man with a long beard, wearing liturgical vestments which include a tall mitre on his head and a cloak or robe. He is holding a crozier, a staff with a curved top that signifies his role as a bishop or abbot.

This figure is shown reading a book, symbolizing wisdom or the sharing of knowledge, which are often associated with religious leaders. There is a backdrop that indicates some architectural structures, hinting at a setting of a church or monastery, which is common in religious iconography.

In the foreground, lying at the feet of the religious figure, there appears to be human skulls and bones, which might represent the transitory nature of life, mortality, or the defeat of death through faith.

The text at the bottom indicates "4. Juni" which likely places the figure's commemoration or feast on June 4th. The word "Israel Ex." in the bottom left corner could be the signature or mark of the artist who created the etching.
