This image depicts an etching or an engraving from the early modern period. A large, draped banner or cloth dominates the composition, containing an extensive inscription in an old-style German script, which is German text dedicating the artwork to a noble individual. The text mentions a Jonae von Herpsperg, possibly the patron or dedicatee of the piece. The drapery is held aloft by an array of figures and creatures that appear to personify various concepts or emotions. To the left, we see one figure with a banner tagged "IGNORANTIA" (Ignorance) and another tagged "INVIDIA" (Envy), suggesting that these figures may represent Ignorance and Envy, respectively. On the right side, there is a cherub-like figure with a banner labeled "AMOR D" (likely shorthand for "Amor Dei," which means "Love of God" in Latin), along with another figure that is possibly reaching out or being guided by this cherubic figure. Another label reads "DISCRETIO" (Discretion or Judgement), pointing to the figure depicted beneath the Love of God. At the very bottom of the image, the text attributes the work to "Johann Wilhelm Baur Inventor et fecit Viennae 1641" - indicating that Johann Wilhelm Baur was the artist and created the piece in Vienna in 1641. The style of the etching, the allegorical figures, and the use of Latin and German text are characteristic of European art from the period. The image is rich in symbolism, likely meant to convey a message or moral related to the virtues and vices indicated by the text associated with each figure.

Additional text at the bottom credits Johann Wilhelm Baur as the inventor and creator in Vienna around 1670 and notes the date 1641.
