The image depicts a black and white engraving of four people. The scene shows two men on the left and a man and woman on the right. The man on the far left wears a hat, a short-sleeved shirt, a long skirt, and knee-high socks. His right arm is raised in the air and his left arm is bent at the elbow. The man beside him wears a similar outfit and has his arms raised. The text "IACOB HEWMON" appears above them. To the right, a woman wears a head covering and a long dress. Beside her, a man wears a hat with a feather, a long tunic, and carries a sword. The text "LAVRENCIVS AVGSTMON" appears above them. The background is a light-brown color with some grass and rocks at the bottom. The date "1546" and the initials "HSB" are visible in the center.
