This is an etching or engraving that depicts a mythological scene. A figure with wings on the head and a crown, suggesting a personification of a deity or supernatural being, is standing beside a bed holding what appears to be a small branch or herbal sprig. The figure is clothed in a classical garment and is partially draped, revealing defined musculature, which hints at a representation of a Greek or Roman god. The bed has an occupant who seems to be asleep, covered by a bedsheet, with the head and upper body slightly raised by pillows. The bed itself is adorned with curtains, indicating that it is likely a place of significance or luxury—a four-poster bed, possibly. At the foot of the bed, there's a decorative column that appears to be part of the bed's framework. In the background through a window, there is a sailing ship on a body of water, suggesting that the scene may be taking place close to a port or the sea. There is also a small figure near the window, resembling Cupid with wings, holding what appears to be a bow, which might suggest themes of love or desire. The Latin inscription at the bottom indicates the mythological context, referencing Morpheus, the god of dreams from Greco-Roman mythology, and the story of Ceyx and Alcyone, a tale of love, loss, and transformation where Morpheus is involved in delivering messages through dreams. Excluding the blurred face, this image is rich in classical mythology and storytelling elements, and the style of the artwork suggests it was created several centuries ago, reminiscent of Renaissance or Baroque art, which often utilized classical and mythological subjects.

The image appears to be an old engraving depicting a classical or mythological scene. One figure, wearing a crown and a draped garment, stands while reaching out to another figure who is lying on an ornate bed within a curtained alcove. To the left side of the scene, there is a view of the outdoors through a window, showing a body of water with small boats and people along the shore. The text at the bottom of the image reads, "Morpheus Ceycis corpus Halcyoni repraesentat," which suggests that the scene involves Morpheus, the god of dreams in classical mythology, and possibly a transformation or presentation related to Ceycis (or Ceyx) and Halcyone (Halcyon). The artistic style and text indicate this is likely a work from the Renaissance or Baroque period.
