This image is a black and white engraving or etching depicting a dramatic scene with two figures. On the left, there is a character who appears to be a man wearing a crown and an elaborate, flowing robe, wielding a sword. His facial expression suggests anger or aggression. On the right, a second figure, who seems to be younger and less adorned, is being struck by the sword and is in a motion that conveys falling backward, with arms thrown up in defense or surprise. The background includes a simple representation of a shoreline and what seems to be the stern of a ship, indicating the scene may be set near a body of water. The caption below the image reads "Polymnestor avaritia inductus Polydorum trucidat," which suggests the scene is from a story or myth, possibly involving the characters Polymnestor and Polydorus, with the action of slaying or killing (trucidat) being driven by avarice (avaritia). The style of the artwork, based on the clothing and rendering, suggests it is rooted in the classical subject matter, which is typical for a historical or mythological scene. This could be a work from the Renaissance or later periods when such classical revivals were common. The engravings of this nature were often used to illustrate books or were stand-alone artworks that told stories or depicted moral tales from history, mythology, or literature.

The image depicts a scene from the 17th-century Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn's work, 'Polyxena and Polydorus.' It showcases a dramatic moment where Polyxena, the daughter of King Priam, is about to be sacrificed to the ghost of Achilles, while Polydorus, her brother, attempts to save her. The scene is set against a backdrop of ancient Greek architecture, with Polyxena standing on a pedestal, her arms outstretched as if in a moment of resignation or acceptance. Polydorus, on the other hand, is depicted in a more dynamic pose, reaching out to Polyxena with a look of desperation on his face. The contrast between the two figures highlights the tragic nature of the scene, as Polyxena's fate is sealed, and Polydorus's efforts to save her seem futile. The overall mood of the painting is one of sorrow and despair, capturing the intense emotions of the characters in a moment of high drama.
