This is a black and white engraving depicting a man playing a marimba. The man is shown in profile, standing on one leg with the other bent at the knee. He is holding a rectangular marimba in front of him, with his hands positioned as if playing it. He is wearing a short garment around his waist, and his upper body is bare. His legs are muscular and well-defined. The ground beneath him is indicated by a few simple lines. At the top right corner of the image, there is a number '174'. Below the image, there is text that reads 'CXLIV Marimba de Cafri'. The style of the engraving is detailed and realistic, with a focus on the anatomy of the man and the texture of the marimba.
