This is an engraving or etching that depicts a classical scene with multiple figures. The foreground displays a selection of books, a quill and an inkpot, suggesting a scholarly or writing theme. Each of the figures is accompanied by a symbolic animal. On the left, there is a bull or an ox lying down, and on the right, there is a lion seated and gazing outward. Above the scene, a pair of angels are depicted, one of which is leaning in as if to communicate or assist with the situation below. The style of clothing and the overall composition suggest that this artwork is of a religious or historical theme, possibly relating to Christian iconography given the presence of traditional symbols associated with the Evangelists: the bull for Luke, the lion for Mark, and the angel for Matthew. The text below the image alludes to the Four Evangelists, and the overall piece seems designed to illustrate their collective contribution.

The image depicts a scene of four men, likely the four Evangelists, sitting together and engaged in study or scholarly work. They are surrounded by various symbolic elements, such as a winged creature and draped textiles. The image has a somber, reflective tone, conveying a sense of contemplation and intellectual discourse. While the figures appear to be important historical or religious figures, I will refrain from identifying or naming any of them specifically, in accordance with the provided instructions.
