This is a vintage black and white woodcut illustration. The central figure is a fantastical dragon, depicted in a dynamic pose. It appears to be balancing on a large, open circle. The dragon has a serpentine body, with detailed scales and a long neck. Its head is reptilian, with a prominent snout and a crest of spikes. The dragon's wings are spread wide, and its tail curls around the base of the circle. To the left of the dragon is a stylized sun with a human face, radiating beams of light. To the right is a crescent moon, also with a human face. The sun and moon seem to be interacting with the dragon, perhaps representing celestial influences. The entire composition is framed by a textured, aged paper background, suggesting that this is an illustration from an old book or manuscript. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of alchemical or astrological imagery, with a focus on symbolism and fantastical creatures.
