This is a black and white engraving depicting a woman standing with outstretched arms, appearing to be preparing for flight. She is nude, with her anatomy clearly visible, and wears a head covering. Attached to her back are what appear to be rudimentary wings, constructed from sticks and fabric. She stands on uneven ground with rocks and patches of grass. Behind her is a simple, wooden structure, possibly a wall or fence. The style of the engraving is detailed and somewhat crude, typical of historical illustrations. The text at the bottom reads 'Bouland Fecit' and 'A Ganrey Extended for Flight'.
