This is a vintage black and white engraving depicting a man playing a theorbo, a large stringed instrument similar to a lute. The man is standing in a three-quarter view, looking upwards and to the right. He is dressed in period clothing, including a cap or hat, a tunic, and knee-high boots. A large cape is draped over his shoulders, adding to the dramatic effect. The instrument is held across his body, and his fingers appear to be plucking the strings. The background is a simple, textured ground. Below the image, the word 'Tiorba' is written, likely identifying the instrument. The image is framed by a rectangular border, and there are Roman numerals 'XLVI' and '9' in the corners.
