This is a black and white illustration, likely a woodcut or engraving, depicting a symbolic representation of a person's spiritual state. The central image is a heart-shaped shield, within which a figure is crucified on a cross. The figure is depicted in a simple, linear style. Around the cross, various symbolic objects are arranged. A ladder leans against the upper left side, a raven is perched near it, and a sword and crown are positioned above the figure's head. To the right, a tower and a castle are visible. Below, a ship and a building are depicted. A sun-like halo is behind the figure's head. Above the heart-shaped shield, there are two lines of text: "Far be it from me, that I should glory in any thing, but the cross of our Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 2, 2." and "He that over-comes shall inherit all things. Rev. 21, 7." Below the image, a caption reads: "Representation of a person's inward state who being reconciled with God, will know nothing more than the crucified Jesus." The entire image is framed by a decorative border of repeating geometric patterns. The style is reminiscent of early religious prints or illustrations, possibly from the 17th or 18th century.
