The image shows an engraving of a mythical or classical figure, likely a representation of a god or demi-god, standing on a sea creature that resembles a dolphin or sea serpent. The figure is a male with long flowing hair and a beard, and he wears a headpiece with leaves or floral elements. He is holding a stringed musical instrument, possibly a lyre or violin, and appears to be playing it. The figure is also adorned with a garment made of large leaves around his waist. Above the figure is Latin text, "praecipue memorabilium Inducibus," which translates to something along the lines of "especially memorable inducements." Below the illustration, more Latin text reads, "Cum Caef. Maiest. gratia & privilegio ad decennium," indicating some form of authority or privilege granted, likely for a period of ten years. The name of the publisher "BASILEAE, APUD IO nem Oporinum" suggests that this was published in Basel by Johannes Oporinus, a known historical printer and publisher. The scene and attire of the figure, coupled with the Latin text, give the entire image a classical or Renaissance feel, possibly pertaining to mythology or literature from that time.

The image depicts an etching or engraving of a theatrical, mythological figure that appears to blend human and aquatic characteristics. The figure's lower body transitions into a twisting fish or mermaid-like tail, suggestive of a connection with the sea or water mythologies. The character is standing on what seems to be a wooden platform or stage above waves, which adds to the nautical theme. This person is adorned with a headband or crown-like accessory and is holding a stringed musical instrument, resembling a lyre or a small harp, which they are playing. The stance and the presence of the instrument suggest the figure could be inspired by stories of muses or figures from classical myth that are associated with music and arts. Additionally, the figure wears a skirt made of large leaves, which may imply a connection to nature or a particular mythic tradition. The paper exhibits notable signs of aging, such as discoloration, spotting, and fraying edges, indicating it could be an artifact from an earlier time. Latin text is visible on the image, which seems to specify something related to memorable Indian things ("præcipuè memorabilium Indicibus.") and contains a reference to a privilege granted by an emperor ("Cum Caes. Maiest. gratia & privilegio ad decennium."), suggesting a historical European origin. The bottom of the image includes the word "BASILEAE," which could refer to Basel, a city in Switzerland, often associated with a rich history of printing and humanism, followed by the name of either a publisher or a printing house, "APUD Io nem Oporinum." The text indicates that it was probably printed in Basel by Johann Oporinus, a notable printer from the Renaissance period.

The image depicts an engraving or woodcut print of a mermaid or siren figure. The mermaid has the upper body of a nude woman with long flowing hair, and the lower body of a fish with scales and fins. She is holding a lute or similar stringed instrument and appears to be playing music or singing. Below the mermaid figure, there are several sea serpents or monstrous fish swimming in the waves. The overall style is reminiscent of 16th or 17th century prints. The Latin text at the bottom reads "Cum Cæs. Maiest. gratia & priuilegio ad decennium." followed by "BASILEAE, APUD 10 nem Oporinum." This suggests it was printed in Basel by Johannes Oporinus with some kind of imperial privilege for a 10 year period. The aged, stained appearance and Latin text imply this is an early modern print, likely from the 1500s. The fantastical subject of the alluring mermaid reflects the fascination with mythological sea creatures during that era.
