Aeneid

The illustration depicts a scene from Aeneid by Francis Cleyn. A barefoot, nearly naked man with long hair and a cloth wrapped around his waist carries a large jug on his shoulder and walks to the right. He has a large tuft of long leaves on his head. To his right, a man in armor lies on the ground with his eyes closed. A spear protrudes from his abdomen. Two men in armor stand nearby, one holding a spear and the other a shield. In the background, a group of men in armor stand with spears. A camp with conical tents and a ship on the water are also visible. A barren tree is to the left of the men. The scene appears to be set near a body of water with vegetation in the foreground.
