The image is an engraving of a scene depicting "Heracles (Hercules) Assailing the Horses of Diomedes." This artwork, intricate and dramatic, illustrates the mythological event where the hero Heracles subdues the man-eating horses of the Thracian king, Diomedes. At the center of the composition is Heracles, portrayed with muscular arms and an intense expression, exemplifying his immense strength and determination. He appears to be in the act of striking or wrestling with one of the horses. The chaotic scene around him includes multiple horses exhibiting signs of aggression and struggle, contributing to the sense of turmoil and violence. A fallen figure, likely King Diomedes, lies beneath Heracles, emphasizing the hero's dominance over both man and beast in this mythological tale. The background details, including a partly visible structure with thatched roof and some vegetation, frame the scene, adding depth and context to the location of this legendary encounter. The engraving also includes text at the bottom, identifying the scene and its origin. The text reads: "Hercule Assommant Les Chevaux De Diomede. De la galerie du Palais d'Orleans," which translates to "Hercules Striking Down the Horses of Diomedes. From the gallery of the Palais d'Orleans."
