The image is a woodcut print of a scene from the Bible, depicting the angel Gabriel and the archangel Michael. The scene is set in a landscape with hills and clouds in the background. Gabriel is shown standing on the left side of the image, holding a sword and wearing a flowing robe. Michael is shown on the right side, holding a spear and wearing armor. Between them, a fallen angel lies on the ground, with his head turned towards Michael. The title of the image is "Anguiparum Medusa caput praefcindit Perfeus," which translates to "The head of Medusa is cut off by Perseus." This refers to the mythological story of Perseus beheading Medusa, a monster with snakes for hair and the ability to turn people to stone with a single gaze. The image is likely a representation of this mythological event, rather than a depiction of the biblical story of Gabriel and Michael. The image was created by the artist Albrecht Dürer in the 16th century.

The image is an etching, possibly from a book illustration, depicting the slaying of Medusa by Perseus. The style is reminiscent of classical art, with a detailed yet somewhat stylized representation of the figures and setting.

In the center foreground, Medusa lies prone on the ground. Her body is draped in what appears to be classical garb, and her head has been severed.

Behind Medusa, to the left of the image, stands Pegasus, the winged horse, a creature born from Medusa's blood after she was beheaded. Pegasus is depicted with outstretched wings, as if in mid-leap or startled reaction to Medusa's demise. The background features a mountainous landscape, adding to the dramatic setting.

To the right of the image, Perseus stands triumphant. He is clad in classical armor, with a helmet adorned with feathers or plumes. In one hand, he wields a sword, while in the other, he holds aloft Medusa's severed head. The head is recognizable by its snakes, a signature feature of Medusa.

At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads "Anguiparum Medusae caput praescindit Perseus". This is likely a Latin inscription identifying the scene as Perseus severing the head of the snake-haired Medusa.
