This is an engraving or etching depicting a monastic figure, identified with the inscription "S.ARNULPHVS ABB.METTE." This indicates that the figure could represent Saint Arnulf, an abbot connected with Metz. The figure is shown kneeling in a prayerful pose, with hands clasped in front of a cave or grotto. Within the cave-like setting, we see books on a makeshift shelf and one opened on a desk, suggesting a hermit who is devoted to study and prayer. The surrounding landscape appears rugged and remote, implied by the rough rock textures and cascading waterfall behind the figure. The image is contained within an oval frame and there are inscriptions at the bottom reading "18." and "Israel ex. IVL.," which likely represent the artist, engraver, or publisher's markings, and could be an inventory or series number. The image has an overall devotional character, suggestive of the religious prints or book illustrations that aimed to depict the lives of saints and other religious figures for contemplation and instruction. The art style is consistent with prints from the early modern period in Europe, perhaps from the 16th to 18th centuries.
