This image is a black and white etching depicting an elephant and a person standing beside it. The elephant is prominent and takes up most of the space in the image, giving a sense of its large size compared to the human figure. The elephant is depicted in profile with its trunk curled upwards, and its skin texture is rendered in detail with a variety of textured lines and shading. A smaller elephant can be seen in the background, providing a sense of perspective.

Facing the larger elephant and standing to its right is a person dressed in what appears to be 17th-century European attire, complete with a tunic, leggings, and a hat. This figure holds what looks like a stick or baton, and is turned towards the elephant, possibly interacting with it or guiding it. Their back is towards the viewer, so details of their face are not visible.

Below the figures, there are inscriptions. The one on the left says "Stef. della Bella fecit," indicating the artist's name and the Latin term "fecit," which translates to "made it" or "did it," commonly used to signify the creator of the artwork. On the right, there is an inscription "Cum privulegio," which is likely a misspelling of "Cum privilegio," meaning "with privilege," suggesting that the print was made with some special permission or privilege. At the bottom right corner, it reads "A^nette excud," possibly indicating the publisher or printer.

This print likely dates from the period when Stefano della Bella was active, which was in the first half of the 17th century, and suggests themes of exoticism and interest in documenting foreign animals which was common during this time period in Europe.

The image is an etching that depicts a large elephant standing in the center of the frame, facing left but slightly turned towards the viewer. The elephant's trunk is curved upwards, almost touching its mouth. To the right of the elephant is a figure of a man, seen from the back, holding a cane that rests against his back. The man is wearing a tunic and trousers, with a decorated pouch hanging from his waist. Behind the large elephant and to the left, there is a smaller elephant, also facing left, but in the distance. The background is a simple, flat plane with a horizon line suggesting a landscape.

In the lower left corner of the image, there is a number "16". Below the elephant, there are the Latin words "Stef. della Bella fecit," "Cum privilegio," and "Mariette excud," which are likely the artist's signature and some indication of the artwork's provenance or copyright.
