In the foreground, there is an etched illustration of a woman wearing flowing garments, leaping into a large pyre or bonfire where thick, curling smoke billows upward. The art style suggests it might be from a period work, possibly reflecting an event from ancient history or classical mythology. Below the etched image, there is handwritten text (in French) which provides a description or title for the scene. It reads "Evadné Femme de Capaneé Roy D'Argos, laquelle se jetta dans le bucher où l'on bruloit le corps de son mary, qui auoit esté tue d'vn coup de fouldre a l'escalade de la ville de Thebes". Translated into English, it roughly reads: "Evadne, wife of Capaneus, King of Argos, who threw herself into the pyre where the body of her husband was burned, who had been killed by a thunderbolt during the siege of the city of Thebes." Given this context, the image is likely an artistic representation of Evadne's act of self-sacrifice, a story from Greek mythology. Capaneus was one of the Seven Against Thebes and was struck down by a thunderbolt thrown by Zeus when he attempted to scale the city's walls. Evadne, in her grief and devotion, is said to have thrown herself on his funeral pyre.
