This print depicts an ornate emblem. The emblem shows a central oval of text surrounded by several curved sections that contain decorations. At the very top is a face with an ornate headdress, with two winged women holding branch-like objects on either side of the central oval. Below the oval is a nude man seen from the waist up, and on either side of him are two cherubic faces surrounded by scrollwork. The background of the emblem is black, with the details in beige. Surrounding the print is empty beige paper.
