This image is a black and white engraving representing a figure traditionally associated with religious iconography, identifiable by the nimbus or halo around the head. The figure's right hand is gesturing toward the heart, and their left hand is resting upon an open book that lies on a draped piece of cloth on a table. There's a rolled scroll or document and a small object that appears to be an inkwell on the table beside the book. The clothing style is loose and flowing, typical of classical or religious depictions from previous centuries. The engraving style is detailed, with fine lines suggesting shading and texture. Below the figure, the Latin inscription reads "S. MARCVS" which suggests that this is an artistic depiction of Saint Mark. Additionally, there is text along the bottom of the image indicating the creator of the engraving, with the words "Corn. Vischer Invenitbat" and "Corn. Vischer Sculpsit et excud." alongside the date "1650." These inscriptions indicate the person who invented or created the composition and the person who sculpted or engraved the printing plate, both presumably Cornelis Vischer, along with the year of creation. The term "Harlem" most likely refers to Haarlem in the Netherlands, suggesting the origin of the engraving.
