The image is an old printed page, possibly from a book, featuring a detailed engraving. At the top of the page, text in an older style of font reads "BAPTISTA MANTVANVS CARMELITA, POETA," indicating a person's name and titles, suggesting that the depicted figure may be Baptista Mantuanus, a Carmelite reformer and poet. The attire suggests a historical or religious context, with the individual wearing robes with ornamental folds.

Below the engraving, there's a Latin script which translates to "Mantua bore me, the same country also [bore] the poet Virgil; the same city which has the Musa (inspiration) of Maro now has mine." This text signifies a connection to Mantua, the city also associated with the classical poet Virgil, known as Publius Vergilius Maro in Latin. The placement of this text implies that it is likely a motto or an expression of pride in the shared heritage with Virgil. The style of the engraving and font suggest the image might originate from the Renaissance or early modern period. There is also a letter "K" and a number "5" at the bottom right corner, which might indicate its sequence or position within a larger collection.
