The image is a black and white illustration, seemingly from an old manuscript or book, primarily etched or engraved. The scene is set within an oval frame.
At the top of the oval frame, text reads "S.MARCEL PAPA ET M." This suggests the figure represented may be Saint Marcellus, a pope and martyr, commonly known in the Christian tradition.
Inside the frame, on the left, there appears a large horse standing beside what looks like wooden planks or a structure. The horse is facing away from the viewer, and most of its body is visible within the frame.
On the right side of the frame, we find a seated figure, likely a man, wearing attire corresponding to clerical or papal dress from historical periods, such as robes and a tall hat, which could be a mitre (a traditional, ceremonial head-dress worn by bishops and abbots in Christianity). His right hand is raised in a gesture that can suggest blessing or teaching, and he appears to be in conversation with someone outside of the oval frame, due to the direction of his gaze.
In the bottom middle of the scene is a kneeling figure with hands clasped in prayer or supplication. The beard and attire suggest an older male figure, potentially depicting a saint or prophet from religious iconography. Beside him, on the ground, is an object that resembles a traditional Christian censer with a cross on top, used for burning incense in religious ceremonies.
Beneath the image, outside the oval frame, are inscriptions that likely reference the book or chapter this image is associated with, which reads "16" and "Israel ex Iann," although the significance of these inscriptions would require further context to understand fully.

This is an illustration that appears to be from a religious or historical text. It features an elderly man with a halo, dressed in simple clothing, kneeling and praying. His hands are clasped together in prayer.
In the background, there are a couple of horses to the left, standing next to some architectural structures. To the right, there is a figure dressed in warrior-like attire, sitting on a raised platform with spears leaning against it.
In the foreground, near the praying man, there is a papal tiara placed on the ground. The image has an oval border, and at the top, it is labeled "S. MARCEL" and "PAPA ET M." At the bottom, there are markings that include the number "16."
The overall style of the illustration suggests it might be an engraving or etching from an older period, possibly depicting St. Marcellus, a pope, in a moment of prayer.
