This is a vintage black and white engraving depicting a man playing a musical instrument. The man is kneeling on the ground, and is depicted with a muscular build. He is playing a xylophone-like instrument with two sticks. The instrument consists of several rectangular wooden blocks of varying sizes. The man is wearing a simple cloth around his waist, and has long hair. The ground is textured with lines to represent grass or earth. In the upper right corner, there is a number '153'. At the bottom, there is the text 'CXX Instrumento Africano'. The style of the engraving is detailed and precise, typical of historical illustrations. The overall impression is that of a historical record of an African musical instrument and the person playing it.
