The image depicts a black and white engraving of a scene with two figures. The figure on the left is a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a robe and no shoes, holding an object. He has a halo above his head. The figure on the right is a winged man with a beard, wearing armor and a hat, holding out his hand. The background includes a tree, a cloudy sky, and a landscape with buildings in the distance. The engraving is signed with the date "1525" and "V APRIL II" at the bottom. The style of the engraving suggests it may be a religious scene. The figures are positioned in a confrontational manner. The overall mood of the scene appears to be one of tension or temptation. Dirk Vellert's Temptation of Christ.
