This is an engraving or a print depicting a classical scene. The central figure is an older man, possibly a depiction of the historical or biblical king Belshazzar, given the title "Belshazzar" at the bottom. He has a long beard, flowing hair, and is dressed in period attire that suggests a setting from antiquity, wearing a tunic and greaves with decorative patterns. His expression is contemplative or perhaps worried, and he is leaning on a staff or a scepter. To his right, there appear to be other figures in the scene. One person is mostly obscured by a column or a pillar, showing only their head and shoulder, looking towards the older man. Another figure is partially visible behind the main character and seems to be in a state of duress or collapse. At the foot of the older man, there are books and scrolls scattered on the ground, suggesting a context of learning, wisdom, or possibly the fall of a great wealth of knowledge. The setting includes classical architecture, indicating a palace or a temple, reinforcing the idea that this scene could be depicting a historical or biblical narrative about a ruler's downfall or reflective moment. The text at the bottom references the original painting by Salvator Rosa, the Collection of the Magnificent, the Earl of Orford, suggesting that this print was made from a painting by that artist which was once part of a collection owned by the Earl of Orford.
