The image is an intricate and detailed etching of a mystical scene set in a dense, dark forest. The central focus is on a figure of a magician, named Lamon, who is performing a sacrificial ritual. The magician is standing beside a large cauldron that emits a cloud of thick, swirling smoke, illuminated dramatically by some sort of bright light or flame emanating from the cauldron itself. Surrounding the magician are various elements of the forest – towering, ancient trees with gnarled roots and branches, overgrown with vines and foliage. The dense canopy above almost completely blocks out the sunlight, casting deep shadows and adding to the mysterious, otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. There are also other figures present: one partially obscured figure holds a torch on the left-hand side, perhaps assisting or observing the ritual. The forest floor is rugged and uneven, with thick underbrush and moss-covered rocks and logs. In the background, the depth of the forest is conveyed through layers of vegetation and the suggestion of distant trees. Below the image, a caption provides context, which reads: “A Moon Light Scene ij aj Forrest where Lamon the Magician is sacrificing to Demons and invoking them to rise. Plate 6. Page 293” followed by some dedications and attributions. The etching is rich in texture and detail, creating an evocative and supernatural atmosphere.

The image has a caption with two parts that read: "A Moon Light Scene of a forest where Lovon the Magician is sacrificing" and "to Demons and invoking them to rise".
