This is a black and white engraving depicting a young boy, likely a street performer, playing a guitar-like instrument. The boy is shown in profile, facing left. He is wearing a hooded garment that covers his head and shoulders, along with a loose-fitting shirt and breeches. His legs are slightly bent, suggesting movement or a playful stance. He is holding a long-necked stringed instrument, possibly a mandolin or a small lute, across his body. The background is a simple, textured ground, and the entire image is framed by a rectangular border. At the top right corner, the number '100' is visible, and at the bottom center, the inscription 'Chitarrino duefo' is written in elegant script. The number 'LIV' is visible in the bottom left corner. The style of the engraving is detailed and precise, with fine lines used to create shading and texture.
