The image depicts a black-and-white engraving titled "Jesus Calling to St. Peter and St. Andrew" by Dirk Vellert. The engraving shows Jesus Christ standing on the right side, with a halo over his head, wearing a long robe and bare feet. His left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand pointing to the left. His right arm is also bent at the elbow, with the hand near his stomach. He looks down to the left at two men in a boat. The two men, St. Peter and St. Andrew, are on the left side, both bearded and wearing long robes. They are looking down into the boat, with one man bending over and possibly lifting a net. The boat has a sign on the side with the letters "D V M". In the background, there is a body of water with trees and buildings on the opposite shore. Trees and bushes are also present in the foreground. The sky has clouds. The engraving has detailed lines and shading throughout.
