A horizontally oriented engraving in dense black-inked fine lines depicts Elisha, a man with a light skin tone, a bald head, and a bushy beard. He wears long robes and gestures toward four mocking boys with light skin tones on our left. In the distance, two bears attack figures near a forest beneath a cloudy sky and distant village. Two columns of Latin text line the bottom edge.
