The image shows a small, square woodcut with two figures around a large letter 'I' in the center. The figure on the left is a bearded person in a long robe with fur around the collar. They are gesturing upwards with one hand, and the other hand may be on their chest. The person has short, wavy hair and a bushy beard. To the right is a skeleton in tattered garments, facing the bearded person. The skeleton appears animated with clear skull and bone structure. There are no visible objects held by either figure. The background has a lined pattern, possibly suggesting an interior space or abstract setting, with the figures in the foreground.
