This is an image of an old engraving or etching, depicting what appears to be a religious or historical scene within an architectural environment that suggests a temple or classical building. The scene is enclosed within an oval frame. At the top of the oval, there's the word "PVRI FICATIO," and on the top right outside of the frame, it's written "B. MARIE. V.". These inscriptions likely refer to the purification of the Virgin Mary, suggesting the scene is related to the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple or the Purification of Mary, which is a Christian feast known also as Candlemas, observed in February. In the center of the image, a woman, who is presumably the Virgin Mary, appears to be presenting a child to a religious figure, possibly a priest, who is wearing liturgical vestments including a mitre, typically worn by bishops. The woman is accompanied by another figure who could be Joseph, and both of them are approaching a set of stairs that lead up to the religious figure. To the left, there are onlookers or other participants in the scene, who appear attentive to the event. On the bottom of the image, the name "Israel ex" is written, which might refer to the engraver or the place linked to the history depicted. In the lower right-hand corner outside the oval is the word "FEB.", which might indicate that this engraving represents the month of February in a series, often found in books of hours or other religious calendar-related documents from previous centuries. The number "2." is positioned at the bottom left corner outside the oval, potentially indicating that this is the second image in a series.

This is an old engraving depicting a religious scene, likely from Christian iconography. In the image, there is a group of people gathered around a central figure who appears to be an elder wearing a hat resembling a bishop's mitre. This central figure is holding a child. The setting seems to be the steps of a grand building with large columns, suggesting a temple or church. The text "PVRIFICATIO" at the top refers to purification, and "B. MARIAE. V." indicates that this scene involves the Blessed Virgin Mary. This scene could be depicting the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, also known as the Purification of Mary, which is celebrated by Christians on February 2nd (as indicated by "2 FEB." at the bottom). There are other figures in the engraving, some of whom might be parents presenting the child, while others appear to be onlookers. The style of the artwork is consistent with engravings from earlier centuries, characterized by detailed line work and a focus on religious subject matter.
