The scene is rendered in a typical neoclassical style with careful attention to anatomical detail and dramatic lighting.

The black and white engraving depicts a mythological scene titled "Mercure Endormant Argus". It shows the nude figures of Mercury (Hermes in Greek mythology) and Argus reclining in a wooded landscape. Mercury appears to be lulling Argus to sleep, likely as part of his mission from Jupiter (Zeus) to rescue the nymph Io, whom Argus had been guarding. Shepherding imagery is present, with sheep or goats lying near the figures. The highly shaded, intricate linework creates a sense of depth and texture in the trees and foliage surrounding the central figures.
