This is a black and white etching or engraving that depicts two figures that appear to be from classical mythology or allegory. The figure on the bottom is a muscular, bearded man seated on a rock or stone surface. He is leaning forward with his right arm resting on his knee and grasping a bundle of sticks or a staff with his left hand. His expression is downcast or possibly contemplative, and his gaze is directed towards the ground.

Perched atop the man's right shoulder and back is a cherubic child figure, often referred to as a putto in art, which resembles a small, naked child with curly hair. The child's left hand is placed on the man's head, while its right hand holds the same bundle of sticks or staff that the man is holding. The putto is looking towards the viewer, and there is a small radiance or halo around its head, giving it the appearance of a divine or angelic being.

The style of the etching suggests it could be from the Renaissance or Baroque period, and the subject matter may be intended to convey a deeper allegorical or mythological message, possibly related to support, guidance, or the transfer of knowledge.

In the bottom left corner, there's an inscription, "Bolswert. ex." which indicates that the engraver or artist could be Boetius à Bolswert, a noted engraver known for his works after paintings by artists such as Peter Paul Rubens.

This image is an engraving by an unknown artist, depicting a scene from the Old Testament. The engraving shows an old man kneeling on the ground, holding a staff in his right hand, and a young boy standing on his back. The boy is looking down at the old man, who appears to be in a state of contemplation or prayer.
