Mercury tells Aeneas to Leave Carthage

The image depicts a tapestry with two men and a woman in the center, surrounded by a decorative border. The border features a gold color with floral designs. The central figures are dressed in ancient-style clothing. A man on the right wears a blue garment with a tan cloth over it, and another man on the left wears a white and red garment with wings on his back. The man on the right appears to be seated on a ledge with a short railing behind him where a woman leans, wearing a blue dress. A decorative oval is at the top center of the border. The frame's bottom features two carved dolphins and other decorative elements. The background shows a blue sky with buildings and trees. The men seem to be on the steps or ledge.
