This is an image of an engraving or etching that depicts a scene from classical mythology, namely a moment from the story of Medea. The artwork is numbered at the top left corner with the word "Cruelle" (meaning cruel in French) just below it, which suggests that this may be part of a series of images. Below the image is French text which provides the context for the scene depicted. The image itself illustrates an intense moment involving two figures. There is a woman in a flowing dress with her back turned, and she seems to have a violent motion. Her right arm is stretched towards a child who looks terrified and is trying to escape or fend off the woman — likely a depiction of Medea retaliating. On the ground in the foreground, there's an unsettling image of a seemingly lifeless child's body, which is a stark and dark element of the story of Medea, who was known in mythology for killing her own children in revenge against her husband Jason. The text below describes Medea as the daughter of the King of Colchis, who helped Jason obtain the Golden Fleece through her enchantments. She fled with him, killed her brother to prevent pursuit, and later, when Jason intended to leave her for the daughter of the King of Corinth, Medea retaliated by killing the royal family and her own children with Jason. Please note that the depiction and text recount elements of a mythological story and contains themes of violence and cruelty as part of the tragic narrative associated with the character of Medea.
