A coat of arms containing three diamond shapes and a crescent at top center. The shield is surrounded by decorative mantling and atop is a bear-like creature. Above the shield is the motto Jucunda Oblivia Vitae. This design is shown printed on a scroll, which is displayed in front of a large stack of books. A quill pen in an inkwell can be seen in the lower right-hand corner of the pile.
A man, back to the viewer, is seen carrying a caduceus in his left hand. In the center of each border of the square that frames is a different image. At the top of the square is lion framed in a coat of arms; at the bottom is an open book with the title text upon the pages. On both the left and right sides are closed books with long stemmed flowers behind each. The book title on the left reads Il Purga Torio, and the title on the right reads Il Para Diso.
An image of a man in period clothing, seated in a chair and observing a print. He has a portfolio of additional work between his knees, and additional prints scattered on the floor. To his right is an end table displaying books along with a pen and inkwell. Behind him is a bookshelf filled with large volumes. Above, behind the title text, is another shelf with more books.
At the center of the plate is a windowed room with a skull, some chemistry glassware, a mortar and pestle, and a few books. Beneath this image is a caduceus with the phrase Ο ΒΙΟΣ ΒΑΧΥΣ (in Greek this means A SHORT LIFE). Several stenciled lion-type creatures create a border around the image.
