This is a drawing of an ornate decorated tablet with Dutch text and two figures, one on each side. The tablet is framed with garlands of fruit, foliage, and decorative ribbons, and features two individuals seated on either side. The figure on the left is in a relaxed pose and wearing simple clothing with a brimmed hat, seated on what appears to be a sack. The figure on the right is also in a relaxed position, seated next to a wooden barrel, wearing a hat and elaborate attire. The text within the tablet provides bibliographical information in Gothic script about a publication by Willem Buytewech from 1621, printed in Amsterdam. Radiating lines behind the tablet suggest illumination or a source of light.
