The image presented appears to be a historical engraving or etching depicting the classical mythological story of Niobe. At the top of the image, two cloud-like forms, each containing a figure with a drawn bow, can be seen. These figures are likely meant to represent Apollo and Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology), who are in the act of unleashing their arrows. Below this celestial scene, there is a chaotic grouping of figures in various states of distress. These figures are likely the children of Niobe who are being struck down by the arrows as part of the gods' retribution. The expressions on the characters' faces, along with their body language, convey a sense of agony and despair. At the bottom of the image, there is a title "Niobe" followed by a text in French, which tells the story of Niobe boasting that she was more powerful than Leto (Latona in Roman mythology) because she had fourteen children (seven sons and seven daughters), and as a result, Apollo and Diana sought to avenge their mother by killing all of Niobe's children. The last part of the text states that Niobe was transformed into a rock. The etching is detailed and expressive, showing a mastery of the medium to convey the dramatic and tragic elements of the mythology. It is number 10 in a series, as indicated by the number at the bottom right corner of the image.

The image depicts a dramatic mythological scene with multiple figures in flowing robes in varying poses of distress. There's French text below the image that tells the story of Niobe, who boasted that she was more powerful than Latona because she had fourteen children (seven sons and seven daughters).
