This engraving represents a German Prince, a servant of honorable rank, a German civilian dress, and a German plebeian adolescent in popular dress. On the left, the German Prince wears a doublet with long puff sleeves trimmed with bows and with ruffled cuffs, and wide hose with bows. His stockings are tight and have bows tied above the knees. He wears a cape with striped lining over his right shoulder. He wears a puffy hat with a bundle of feathers and a ruff. A long chain necklace is wrapped around his neck, and a sword hangs at his left hip. The shoes are flat and with slightly pointed toes.

To his right, addressing him, is a servant of noble rank, wearing a doublet with long, wide sleeves and a pattern of rosettes with four thin potaloids, and wide hose with ribbons and bows, over long stockings with bows tied around the knees. His collar is ruffled, as are the cuffs. He wears a wide-brim hat with a bow at the front, and carries a sword on his left hip. His shoes are plain and flat.

On the center-right is a German civilian, wearing a coat with short puff sleeves over long tight sleeves, trimmed with fur, over a doublet and wide hose, stockings, and flat shoes. He wears a simple hat and holds his gloves on the left hand.

On the right is a German young man wearing a short ruff, doublet and wide hose with ribbons and bows, stockings, and flat shoes with rounded toes. On his shoulders is a cape with bow trimmings, and a sword hangs from his left hip. He wears a simple hat.
