The image is a sepia-toned engraving of the mythological scene "Enlèvement de Déjanire par le Centaure Nessus" ("The Abduction of Deianira by the Centaur Nessus"). The scene is filled with dynamic movement and dramatic expressions.

At the center, the centaur Nessus is depicted with a muscular human torso and the body of a horse. He is carrying Deianira, who is draped in voluminous fabric that billows around her. Nessus looks up at Deianira, his face contorted with determination. He is in mid-stride, suggesting a sense of urgency and flight.

Deianira is looking up and away, her expression a mix of fear and desperation. One arm is outstretched as if reaching for help, while the other hand grasps at Nessus's arm. Her drapery adds to the drama of the scene, creating swirling patterns that emphasize her precarious position.

In the background, there is a river or body of water. On the far bank, a male figure, likely intended to be Hercules, is seen standing, perhaps witnessing the abduction. The background also includes some trees and a cloudy sky, adding to the depth and atmosphere of the scene.

The foreground contains some reeds or tall grasses, which anchor the scene and add a sense of groundedness to the otherwise chaotic movement.

At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads "Guido pinx. R. Hecquet sculp." and "B. Audran exeud." followed by the title "Enlèvement de Déjanire par le Centaure Nessus," identifying the subject and the artists involved. The style of the image suggests that it is from the 18th century.
