The image shows an engraving of a seated bearded man in regal clothing, wearing a crown. He is holding a scepter and is interacting with an allegorical female figure standing in front of him. Another figure is depicted to the side. The background includes a textured surface, a banner with the word "FIDES," and an ornate shield with a crown and an inscription about the siege and liberation of Dole in France. Musical instruments and objects like a trumpet and a scroll are intertwined around the shield, and a small dog is at the feet of the figures.
