This is an image of an old engraving or etching featuring a scene within an ornate, round-topped arch or frame. The scene appears to portray a classical or biblical moment, given the style of dress and the presence of an angelic figure floating above. This figure spans across the top corner of the image, a part of the illustration's border. The central part of the picture illustrates a group of people gathered around a bed where a person lies, suggesting a scene of death or illness. A person standing to the right of the bed is attending to the lying figure, while another figure kneels in prayer at the foot of the bed. The border surrounding the scene is rich with detailed images and symbols. The sides of the frame are decorated with skeletons holding various instruments of the passion of Christ (such as a cross, a whiplash, and nails), evoking memento mori—artistic reminders of mortality. There are Latin inscriptions within the border, which may explain the context or provide moral instruction. One visible phrase reads "ET TANDEM FINIS VITAE MORTALIBUS ADSITAT," which can be translated to "And finally, the end of mortal life approaches." Additionally, there's a line of French text at the bottom that reads, "L’an creingne mort mais suys la guerre Les biens aux boirs, et le corps en terre," which roughly translates to "Fear the year of death but follow the war, The goods to the living, and the body to the ground." The overall impression is that this is a work from the late medieval or early renaissance period, designed to impart messages about life, death, and the temporal nature of existence. The use of Latin and French suggests the work was created for an educated European audience.

Additionally, a smaller text in French appears: "Lan Court signifie mort vous fault la guerre, Les biens aux hois, et le corps en terre," meaning "The short year signifies death, you must wage war, the goods to the woods, and the body to the earth."
