This is a black and white engraving depicting a figure in a dramatic pose. The figure, likely a man, is draped in flowing robes and a hooded cloak, obscuring much of his face. He is positioned in profile, with one hand raised to his mouth as if shouting or calling out. His body is muscular and detailed with cross-hatching to create shading and texture. He wears sandals and appears to be standing on a slightly elevated, rocky terrain. Above the figure, an animal, possibly a small mammal or rodent, is depicted in mid-air, seemingly being launched or thrown. A curved line suggests the trajectory of the animal. The background consists of a simple landscape with rolling hills and a few suggested trees. The style is reminiscent of Renaissance or Baroque engravings, with a focus on anatomical detail and dramatic composition. At the top right corner, there is a number '51'. At the bottom, there is a Roman numeral 'VII' and the text 'Tromba curua'. The image is framed by a rectangular border.
