Aristomenes Mourning the Death of Socrates from the Bewitchment of Meroë (from Book 1 of Apuleius, "The Golden Ass")
The image depicts a grayscale illustration of a scene with two men. One man stands with his back to the viewer, wearing a long robe and holding his face with one hand. He appears to be mourning. The man is standing over another man lying on the ground. The lying man wears a short cloth wrapped around his waist. He is on the ground with his eyes closed. There are trees in the background and a path behind the standing man. A third figure lies in the background on the right. The illustration is on a piece of off-white paper.
