This image appears to be an old woodcut illustration. The scene is framed within what looks like a window with mullions, creating four panes. Each of the panes is filled with distinct elements. Central to the image is a face resembling the sun with rays extending outward, suggesting that it represents the sun with a human-like face. The surrounding panes contain foliage or curly vines that swoop around the central figure. The face has stylized features, with a small mouth, nose, and eyes that are common in woodcut designs from previous centuries.

The artwork features heavy black outlines and a high level of contrast, which is characteristic of woodcut prints, where the artist carves into a block of wood leaving only the lines and shapes they want to print. These would then be inked and pressed onto paper. On the left and right sides, there are areas that seem to have a decorative purpose, resembling architectural pillars or border designs that are common in printed materials of certain historic periods.
