An engraving shows a scene inside a cave. On the left, a woman, identified as a sorceress, stands near a small stone altar. A fire burns on the altar and creates a large cloud of smoke. She gestures toward a man seated on the right. The man wears scholarly robes and sits at a desk with an open book. He looks back at her with a surprised expression. In the foreground, a celestial globe on a tripod and a large pair of mathematical compasses lie on the ground. Rocky cavern walls frame the entire scene. A title plaque sits at the top, and a Latin couplet appears at the bottom.
