The image shows a circular engraving or print depicting a figure labelled as "S. MATTHÆVS APOSTOL.", which is Latin for Saint Matthew the Apostle. Saint Matthew is traditionally one of the four Evangelists and the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament. In the engraving, the figure has a full beard and long, wavy hair, hallmarks of depictions of biblical figures from classical and Renaissance art. He is wearing draped robes and pointing to an open book he is holding in his other hand, which is a common iconographic element associated with Evangelists, typically signifying their authorship of the Gospels and their roles as messengers of the word of God. At the top of the circle, there is a winged putto or angel, which is often associated with Matthew, as each Evangelist is symbolized by a different living creature with wings— a man or angel for Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John. Below the image, text or signatures of the artist and engraver can be seen, indicating the names of the creators. "B. Picart del." likely indicates that Bernard Picart drew the original design that this engraving is based on. The text "Ex. Deon. scul." may refer to the person who actually engrave the image, although the complete name is not entirely clear from the cropped text.
