This image is an etching or engraved illustration, likely from a historical book or folio. We see two central figures that appear to be drawn in a classical style reminiscent of ancient Greek or Roman mythological art. The figure on the left appears to be gesturing towards the other figure, possibly indicating some form of narrative or transformation. The latter figure has a startled or pained expression with branches growing out of their head, suggesting a metamorphosis into a tree. In the background, there is a natural landscape with trees and a fallen deer, indicating that the setting is outdoors, perhaps in a wilderness or a forested area. The text beneath the figures reads "Cyparissus ab Apolline in arborem commutatur," which is Latin and roughly translates to "Cyparissus is changed into a tree by Apollo," referencing a story from classical mythology where a young man named Cyparissus is transformed into a cypress tree by the god Apollo due to his grief over accidentally killing a beloved stag. The number "93" in the corner suggests that this image may be part of a larger collection or series. The rendition is detailed, accentuating emotions and movement, and matches the style of illustrations found in texts from the Renaissance or later periods that recount ancient myths.

This is a black and white illustration depicting a scene from classical mythology. The illustration features two male figures in a natural setting with trees, with one of them transforming into a tree or possessing tree-like attributes. The figure on the left appears to be a male in a classical robe or garment, with one hand holding a lyre and the other hand gesturing towards the other figure. The figure on the right seems to be a younger male with an expression of sorrow or despair, and branches are growing from his head, indicating his transformation. There is also a stag lying on the ground, seemingly dead or injured, near the figure on the right. The text at the bottom of the illustration, written in Latin, reads "Cyparissus ab Apoll ine in arborem commutatur," which translates to "Cyparissus is transformed into a tree by Apollo." This refers to the mythological story of Cyparissus, a youth who was beloved by Apollo and was transformed into a cypress tree due to his overwhelming grief. The number "93" appears before the text, possibly indicating the illustration's number in a series or collection.
