This is an etching or engraving that depicts a scene within an oval border. At the top of the image, the text reads "S. FOELIX EPIS. METE," potentially signifying a Saint Felix who was a bishop. The central figure in the image is seated and wearing elaborate clerical vestments, including a mitre, which is a traditional, ceremonial head-dress of bishops in the Christian church. This figure appears thoughtful or contemplative.

To the right of the central figure are two individuals who seem to be in conversation. The person closer to the bishop also appears to be a clerical figure or a monk, indicated by the simple, hooded garment and bald head, which could be a tonsure—a traditional practice where clerics would have part of their head shaved. The figure behind also appears to be shrouded in a hooded robe.

The background suggests an interior setting, possibly a church or cathedral, indicated by the arched windows filled with tracery, which is common in Gothic architecture, and the stripe patterns on the wall, which might represent masonry or decorative wall hangings.

In the bottom left, there is the signature "Israel ex," implying the artist or engraver may be named Israel. The bottom of the image features the number "21" and the word "FEB.," suggesting this image could be part of a series, possibly representing saints' days or religious observances, with "21 FEB." referring to February 21.

The style of the image is consistent with etching or engraving work from the 16th to the 18th century. The dates or marks can help to determine the context of this image in terms of its historical or religious significance.
