This is a black and white engraving depicting a woman seated at a harpsichord. The harpsichord is a vertical model, as indicated by the text at the bottom of the image, 'Cembalo Verticale'. The woman is dressed in a long gown with puffed sleeves and her hair is styled in curls. She is looking to her right as she reaches out to play the instrument. She is seated on a chair draped with a patterned cloth. The background is plain, with a few vertical lines suggesting a wall. The image is framed by a rectangular border, and the number 'XLIV' and '9o' are printed at the bottom and top right corners respectively. The style of the engraving is detailed and precise, with fine lines used to create shading and texture.
