This is a detailed 'Kontrafactur' (portrait or representation) of Ulrich Schmidel, a 16th-century German explorer and chronicler, created by Levinus Hulsius. The image, a sophisticated engraving, depicts him as an adventurer, clad in light armor and holding a spear, flanked by an exotic feline and a snake, elements alluding to his travels in South America. The style is characteristic of the German Renaissance, combining portraiture with narrative symbols of overseas exploration.
