The image depicts an engraving showing two main characters sitting together beneath a tree. The man on the right is positioned with his legs crossed, wearing a helmet and detailed armor. The woman on the left is seated next to him, her body slightly angled towards him, and her head is turned downwards, looking at a small, winged child sitting at their feet. The child below is playfully interacting with a small animal or creature. In the background, there are trees, foliage, and distant water. The man's hand is holding a small triangular object.
