He is dressed in 18th-century attire, including a long coat, waistcoat, and knee breeches with stockings. His hair is styled in curls. He is holding a violin under his chin, preparing to play. In his right hand, he holds a bow. Next to him is a large, rectangular box with a decorative pattern on its sides. The box appears to be open, revealing some contents inside. The scene is set on a textured ground, and there is a number '149' in the top right corner. Below the scene, there is a Roman numeral 'CXIII' and the Italian text 'Altro diuerso'. The style of the engraving is detailed and precise, with fine lines used to create shading and texture. The overall impression is one of elegance and refinement.
