The image is a detailed etching depicting a group of four people within a circular frame. The figures are shown from the waist up. In the center, there is a young woman sitting, looking slightly to her right. She has delicate facial features and is wearing a headscarf. Next to her, two small, curly-haired children are present, with one child sitting on the lap of the seated woman. The child on her lap is facing to the side, and the other child is standing while facing forward. On the far left, an elderly man with a beard appears to be leaning forward, partially included in the frame. The figures are draped in cloth garments. The background consists of intricate linework and a round, decorative border enclosing the group. Below the circular illustration, there is text and a coat of arms.
