A vertically oriented softground etching in black ink on white paper depicts a seated satyr facing right. The figure has a bearded human face, small horns, and pointed ears, his lower body featuring fur-covered goat legs crossed at the ankles. He sits on a rock holding a wooden staff. Grainy, stippled shading forms a wooded background. Handwritten script appears at the bottom center: "Appiani Fec."
