This is a black and white engraving depicting the Roman goddess Venus. She is shown as a nude woman with long, flowing hair. She stands on a large scallop shell, with one leg slightly bent and the other extended. Her right arm is raised, and her hand is near her head, while her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her hand rests on her hip. A starburst emanates from behind her head, adding to her divine aura. Below the shell, there is a small inscription that reads 'VENVS.' and further text in smaller font. The entire image is framed within an oval border, and the background is filled with a dense pattern of lines and dots, creating a textured effect. At the very bottom of the image, there is a longer inscription in Latin. The style of the engraving is reminiscent of Renaissance or Baroque art, with a focus on classical mythology and idealized human form.
