This image is a classical engraving depicting a scene from ancient mythology. In the foreground, there are several figures with the heads of animals and the bodies of dogs or sea creatures emerging from the waves, which are indicative of a mythological transformation or hybrid creatures. To the left, a character is seen emerging from the water with outstretched arms, which could signify a narrative interaction between the characters. In the background, we see a simple, sketched landscape featuring rock formations or cliffs, suggesting that the scene may be set near a coastline or on a deserted island. The presence of these elements and the engraving style are typical for illustrations that accompany ancient myths, stories, and texts.

The image illustrates this moment from the myth, with the character of Scylla depicted among the sea-monster-like beings.

This is a classical engraving depicting the mythological transformation of Scylla into a sea monster, as indicated by the Latin text below the image which reads "Scylla Circes veneficiis in monstrum marinum" (Scylla transformed into a sea monster by Circe's sorcery). The artwork shows a female figure in the midst of transformation, standing in churning waters. Around her in the water are several dog-like heads emerging from the waves, representing the multiple heads that Scylla was said to have acquired during her transformation. In the background, there are rocky cliffs and a small figure visible in the distance. The piece is executed in the style of classical etching or engraving, with fine line work creating texture and depth. The composition dramatically captures the moment of metamorphosis, a common theme in classical mythology. The number "131" in the bottom left suggests this may have been part of a larger series or book of mythological illustrations. This scene depicts a famous episode from Greek mythology where Circe, jealous of Scylla, cursed her by poisoning the waters where she bathed, transforming her into a terrible sea monster who would later plague sailors passing through her strait.
