A black and white illustration on aged paper depicts Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, sitting on a cloud. The goddess has short hair and wears a short dress; she holds a bow in her left hand and an arrow in her right. Below her, a man wearing only a loincloth and holding a bow runs through clouds on the bottom right. The scene features trees on either side and a large stone doorway with columns behind them. The doorway is adorned with a carved arch and a draped fabric above it. The illustration is framed by a decorative border with scrollwork at the top and bottom. The bottom of the illustration includes the text "LA DEESSE".
