This is a black and white engraving depicting a figure triumphing over a lion. The figure, likely a saint or allegorical representation of justice, is a young man with curly hair and a beard. He is partially draped in flowing robes and is standing on the back of a lion. He holds a sword aloft in his left hand and his right hand rests on the lion's back. The lion is depicted with a fierce expression, its head turned towards the viewer. At the figure's feet are scales, symbolizing justice and balance. A halo surrounds the figure's head, indicating sanctity or divine favor. The scene is set amidst a patch of grass. The engraving is highly detailed, with intricate lines used to create texture and shading. The artist's signature 'RWEL13' and a symbol 'AD' are visible in the lower left corner.
