This print shows a lecture scene in an amphitheater-style room. There is a desk on the right with a line of human skulls arranged on it. The people in rows of seats on the left are focused on a bearded man in academic robes who is standing behind the desk, facing the left and raising one arm up, his mouth open. He has pale skin and a balding head. The walls of the room are covered in a grid of thin lines, and a window is partially visible in the top left.
