The image shows an engraving with several figures. In the center is a muscular, armored figure holding a sword, standing over a large man lying on his stomach. The armored figure wears a decorated helmet and long hair. A nude, winged cherub hovers above, holding a laurel wreath. Other semi-clad figures surround them, some holding objects. At the base, a seated woman wears a laurel wreath and reads from a book. The scene is set against a textured, dark background emphasizing light and shadow on the figures.
