This is an etching or engraving depicting a historical or biblical scene, as suggested by the clothing styles and the presence of tents and classical architecture. The scene is divided into two sections by trees and tents. On the left side, a group of people is gathered around a man holding a rod, which appears to be blossoming. There appears to be a sense of attention and reverence toward the rod. A tent with intricate designs is prominent in this section, and some individuals seem to be engaged in discussion or observation. The right side features a group of people reacting to a serpent statue atop a pole. The expressions and body language suggest fear or awe. In this part of the scene, there are also onlookers, and some individuals appear to be collapsing or in distress, possibly as a result of the serpent. The caption under the image is "LA VERGA D'ARONNE, E IL SERPENTE DI BRONZO" on the left, and "LA VERGE D'AARON, ET LE SERPENT D'AIRAIN" on the right. These captions are in Italian and French, respectively, translating to "The Rod of Aaron and the Bronze Serpent". This further suggests a biblical context, referring to the story of Aaron's rod that budded and the bronze serpent that Moses set upon a pole, as recorded in the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament.

The image is an intricate and detailed illustration depicting a biblical scene. The composition features two main groups of figures, each involved in a separate event, which are connected through their spiritual and religious significance. On the left side of the image, a group of people, some of whom appear to be soldiers, are gathered around a central figure wearing a robe. This figure seems to be holding a staff and could be interpreting or explaining something to the people around him. Behind them, a row of tents and a tall tree are visible, indicating a camp or a temporary settlement. In the center of the image, the scene seems more focused on a religious ritual or ceremony. Here, a prominent figure, possibly a high priest or a prophet, stands in front of an intricate structure which could be the Tabernacle. Surrounding the central figure are other people, likely priests, who appear to be in a state of prayer or reverence. To the right of the central scene, another group of people is depicted in various states of distress, illness, or worship. This group surrounds a tall pole with a serpent coiled around it, which is elevated high above them. The serpent and pole are significant symbols, likely representing the biblical story of the Brazen Serpent, where Moses lifted up a serpent in the wilderness to heal those who looked upon it. The image is labeled at the bottom with the title in both Italian and French: "LA VERGA D'ARONNE E IL SERPENTE DI BRONZO" and "LA VERGE D'AARON ET LE SERPENT D'AIRAIN." This translates to "The Rod of Aaron and the Bronze Serpent" in English, indicating the dual events depicted in the illustration. Overall, the image is a historical and religious artwork that captures significant moments of faith and divine intervention from biblical narratives.
