This is a black and white engraving depicting a scene with a stove, a chimney, and two men. The left side of the image features a brick stove with a large, funnel-shaped apparatus extending from it. Smoke rises from the funnel and exits through a tall chimney. A small plant in a pot sits on top of the stove. Below the stove is a small box with the year '1619' inscribed on it. In the foreground, an older man is bent over, peering into the opening of the stove with a long, curved pipe. He is wearing a hat, coat, and knee-high boots. A small stool is positioned near him. To the right, a younger man stands with his arms crossed, observing the older man. He is wearing a hat and a coat that reaches his knees. The floor is made of a grid-like pattern of wooden planks. Above the stove and to the right, there are ornate decorative ornaments. The style of the engraving suggests it is from the 17th century.
