This engraving shows a woman holding a crescent moon above her head. She stands on a rocky base with small faces peeking out, while a child clings to her side. Behind her, a town with a tall tower and a church sit under a dark sky. The word *Luna* at the top hints this is about the moon. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth.
