The image is an engraving depicting two figures. One figure stands upright, wearing a long, loose garment and a pointed hat, with short, wavy hair, holding an axe in their left hand and pointing with their right hand towards the second figure. The second figure is bent over at the waist, with their back towards the viewer, wearing a hooded garment and boots. The background features a woven fence with two tall posts and a banner with Gothic-style text. The engraving has shaded textures throughout.
