The image features an engraving showing two figures, an elder man and a child, depicted from the waist up. The elder man is seated, with his body turned slightly toward the child, holding the child's arm and gesturing with his right hand. He has a prominent beard and wavy hair, with a serene facial expression focused upwards. The child, positioned slightly in front of the man, is looking ahead with a gentle expression, hands clasped together. The child's hair is short and smooth. Both figures are draped in robes with visible folds. Radiant halos surround each head. The background consists of a finely hatched pattern, typical of engraving techniques. The engraving includes a decorative border and text below the image.
