The image is a circular engraving of a group of figures interacting. The central figure is a skeleton, with two human figures and another skeletal figure nearby. One human figure is on the left, wearing a hat and cloak, holding a bird. The central skeleton is holding a tree branch and looking back. Next to the skeleton is a child-like figure reaching upward. The background shows a stone building with columns, a circular window, and a wintry landscape with barren trees. The image is bordered by text in a decorative circular frame with Latin inscriptions on an off-white background.
