This is a black and white engraving depicting a person playing the timpani. The person is seated and leaning over the drums, with one hand raised holding a drumstick poised to strike a drum. The other hand is already in motion, striking another drum. They are wearing a feathered hat and ornate clothing with a ruffled collar. The timpani are large, round drums mounted on a decorative base. The background is filled with vertical lines. At the top right corner, the number '116' is visible. Below the image, the Roman numeral 'LXXV' and the word 'Timballi' are written in a decorative font.
