In the center of the composition stands a man, dressed in an elegant overcoat and adorned with a distinguished beard and mustache.

The intricate details of this instrument are beautifully captured in van Westerhout's skilled engraving technique. The atmosphere surrounding our protagonist is one of curiosity and delight. Onlookers gather around him, captivated by the melodic tunes emanating from his magical contraption.
