This is a historical engraving of a person from the waist up, dressed in clothing suggesting a period that could be the 16th or 17th century, given the style of the outfit. The individual is wearing what appears to be a doublet, a garment common in Europe during that time. Around the figure is an ornate border that includes various elements and symbols. There are astrological or celestial symbols, including the sun and possibly planets, navigational items such as a globe and a sextant, and in the lower left, a small portrayal of what seems to be a sleeping child. The border contains Latin script, which was typical for intellectual works of the period. The bottom of the image has inscriptions that likely credit the artist 'Gowy deli' and the engraver 'W. Hollar fecit', along with a date, which appears to be 1644, firmly placing this work in the mid-17th century. The technique and style are reminiscent of European portraiture and scientific illustration of the time.
