This is a detailed black and white engraving depicting a complex mechanical device, likely a water-lifting system. The scene is set on a stone-tiled floor, and is framed by an ornate border with floral motifs. The central focus is a large, wooden structure resembling a well or a deep pit. Within this pit, a series of interconnected components are visible. A bucket is suspended by a rope and connected to a wheel mechanism. A ladder is positioned alongside the pit, suggesting access for maintenance or operation. To the right of the pit, a man is shown operating the device. He is dressed in period clothing and appears to be pouring something into a component of the machine. Above the pit, a stone structure with an arched opening is visible, adding to the complexity of the scene. The entire image is rendered in a highly detailed, engraved style, with intricate lines and shading. The title 'FIGVRE XXII' is written above the scene. At the bottom of the image, there are stylized plants, adding a decorative element to the composition.
