The image depicts an intricate and intense scene in classical art style. It is an artist's interpretation of Hercules fighting the Hydra, a mythological multi-headed serpent. Hercules, the muscular and heroic figure in the center, is portrayed with striking anatomy, emphasizing his strength and determination. He is wielding a large club, raised above his head, ready to strike the Hydra. The Hydra, coiled around Hercules’s legs and the rocky ground, has multiple serpentine heads with open jaws, displaying a sense of menace and chaos. The scene is set in a rugged, natural environment with rocks and a backdrop suggesting a cave or mountainous region. Below the image, the text provides titles and information in both French and Latin. The French title "Hercule tuant l'hydre" and its Latin counterpart "Hercules hydram interficiens" translate to "Hercules killing the Hydra." Furthermore, the text mentions a reference to a painting in the King's collection, indicating the source of inspiration for this engraving. Overall, the artwork captures the dramatic struggle between Hercules and the Hydra, showcasing both the mythological story and the artist's skill in rendering powerful human anatomy and dynamic movement.

This image is an engraving depicting a scene from classical mythology: the battle between Hercules and the Hydra. Hercules, depicted as a muscular man with a thick beard, is shown wrestling with the multi-headed serpent, known as the Hydra. He grasps one of the Hydra's heads in his left hand and wields a club in his raised right hand. His expression is one of fierce determination. The Hydra's many serpentine heads lunge towards Hercules, their mouths agape with fangs visible. The atmosphere is dramatic and filled with action. At the bottom of the image, there are inscriptions: "Hercule tuant l'Hydre." in French, and "Hercules hydran interficiens." in Latin, colloquially translated to "Hercules slaying the Hydra." Additionally, smaller texts claim the grandeur of the tableau designed by the order of the King, with its dimensions and the statement: "Gravé d'apres le tableau de Guido qui est au cabinet du Roy de 5 pieds 6 pouces haut et de 7 pieds de large." which indicates that this engraving was made after a painting by Guido that is part of the king's collection, and gives the measurements in French feet and inches. The signature of François Chauveau, the French artist known for his engravings, also appears to be on the image. The scene is set with rocks and uneven terrain that suggest the chaotic nature of the Hydra's lair. The Herculean myth is a part of the Twelve Labors of Hercules, and slaying the Lernaean Hydra was one of those legendary tasks.
