The illustration depicts a chaotic battle scene from "Aeneid" by Francis Cleyn. The scene shows a group of men in ancient armor and clothing engaged in combat. Some men are climbing over a stone wall, while others are standing on the ground, armed with spears, shields, and swords. Two men on the ground are on fire. On the left, one man is falling from the wall headfirst. The men are wearing various types of helmets and armor. The background features a stone building with a doorway and a wall with battlements. The illustration is rendered in shades of gray and beige, with bold lines and detailed textures. The style is reminiscent of Baroque-era engravings.
