This is a black and white engraving or etching, likely from a book or series. The style is reminiscent of William Blake's work, with a focus on line work and a somewhat dreamlike or symbolic quality. The central figure is a person, possibly a woman, depicted in a simple, almost ghostly manner. They are draped in a flowing robe or shroud, and their head is covered with a hood or veil. The face is somewhat elongated and appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The figure is seated on what appears to be a mound or a raised platform. Behind the figure is a large, gnarled tree with twisting branches. The tree's foliage is dense and obscures much of the background. A serpentine shape, possibly a worm, is visible among the branches, adding to the image's symbolic or allegorical quality. The entire image is filled with dense, intricate line work, creating a sense of texture and depth. The lines are not uniform in thickness or darkness, giving the image a hand-drawn, expressive quality. Below the image is text, which appears to be a title or caption. It reads: "16 I have said to the Worm, Thou art my mother & my sister Published by W. Blake 17 May 1793". The overall impression is one of mystery, symbolism, and perhaps a touch of melancholy. The image evokes a sense of the supernatural or the spiritual, and the text suggests a deeper meaning or allegory.
