The image is an intricate black and white engraving that appears to depict a classical or mythological scene. The landscape features classical architecture, including towering columns, arches, and detailed buildings with domes and pediments. In the center of the scene, there is an obelisk and a fountain within a large, rectangular water feature or garden pond. The background is filled with lush trees and rocky hills, under a cloudy sky.

In the foreground, to the right, there's a figure that seems to be Narcissus from Greek mythology, kneeling by a stream or small pond, gazing at himself in the water. His reflection can be seen, emphasizing the myth of Narcissus' attraction to his own image. The scene is framed by elaborately decorated columns on either side.

In addition to the visual elements, there is a caption at the bottom of the image, written in Latin, which provides context to the scene. It reads: "Dum sitim sedare cupid sitis altera creuit Narcisus Vllè corruptus imagine formis Spem sine corpore amat corpus putat esse quod umbra est." This roughly translates to: "While trying to quench his thirst, another desire arose, Narcissus corrupted by the image of his beauty, he loves a body without substance, and what he thinks is a body is only a shadow." This caption further indicates that the scene illustrates the myth of Narcissus.
