This is an image of an engraving or etching, which appears to be from an antiquated book or a collection showcasing allegorical representations. The style suggests it could be from the Renaissance or Early Modern period. It shows a female figure, allegorical in nature, seated in a landscape with various symbolic elements that seem to represent the sense of touch: 1. The female figure is wearing a classical robe, which is flowing and dynamic, adding a sense of movement to the image. Her left hand is raised with an index finger pointing upward while her face is turned slightly to her right in a thoughtful or instructive gesture. 2. She is holding a bird, possibly a falcon, perched on her extended right hand, which is covered by a glove. The bird appears to be well-trained and is not in flight, suggesting control and tactile connection. 3. At the bottom of the image, there is a turtle near the figure's foot, which could imply slowness or steadiness, possibly relating to the careful exploration of touch. 4. On the left side, by her arm, we can see a spider web between the branches of a tree, further emphasizing the theme of touch, highlighting the delicacy and intricacy touch can detect. 5. The background features a distant landscape with a body of water and ships, which may allude to exploration or the broader context of the world in which the sense of touch is crucial. There is text both within the image and beneath it. Above the figure's head is the word "TACTVS," which is Latin for "touch." The text at the bottom likely expounds on the philosophical or symbolic significance of touch and reads, "TACTVS SENSQ[RV]VM, PER TOTVM CORPVS EXPANSVS EST, AC PROINDE ETIAM EIVS ORGANVM," which can be translated as "Touch, of the senses, is expanded over the whole body, and so is also its organ." There is also a signature on the image, "Franciscus Floris inventor," identifying the artist as Frans Floris, a Flemish painter from the 16th century. However, without further context, it is hard to determine the exact source or purpose of this image.

The image is a black and white engraving depicting a female figure seated by a riverside. She is dressed in classical drapery and raises her left index finger. On her right arm, she is holding a bird of prey, possibly a falcon. To her left, partially submerged in the ground, is a turtle, and in the background, a boat can be seen partially on shore or anchored. A spider web is in the upper left corner, attached to a tree branch. The river or lake is in the background, with a large industrial structure emitting smoke in the distance across the water. Above the bird, there is text that says "TACTVS" (Latin for "touch") and at the bottom of the engraving, there is additional text in Latin: "TACTVS SENSORIVM PER TOTVM CORPVS EXPANSVM EST, AC PROINDE ETIAM EIVS ORGANVM." This translates to "The sense of touch is spread throughout the entire body, and so too is its organ." The illustration has a classical and symmetrical style with intricate line work, reflecting Renaissance or Baroque artistic influences.
