This is an etching or engraving featuring a central figure dressed in draped garments, which give the impression of a classical statue. The figure does not have a head, arms, or feet, and appears to be a mannequin or a statue used for displaying the folds of the fabric.

Flanking the figure on both sides are ornate urns or vases, each perched upon a pedestal. The urns are richly decorated with sculptural elements. The one on the left features a grotesque face at the centre and is adorned with what appears to be a festoon hanging from the mouths of two beasts at the top. The beast on the very top is lying down and exhibiting playful or restful behaviour.

The urn on the right also has beasts on the top and bottom, and its central motif is a relief that depicts a group of figures in what might be a mythological or allegorical scene. The figures are dynamic, and the scene is complex, with multiple figures interacting. Both urns show a lot of movement and detail, suggesting they are works of high craftsmanship.

The bottom left corner of the image contains the inscription "POLIDORO INVENT," which suggests that the original design was invented by an artist named Polidoro. In the bottom right corner, the inscription "Gio Batista de'Cavalleriis f(ecit)" indicates that Giovanni Battista de'Cavalleriis is the printmaker who executed this particular piece.

Overall, the artwork appears to be representative of Renaissance or classical influences and suggests an interest in the study of drapery, form, and decorative elements.
