The image is a black and white etching depicting the encounter between Alexander the Great and the philosopher Diogenes. The scene is set outdoors, with a large barrel serving as the philosopher's dwelling.

Here's a breakdown of the elements:

  • Alexander: Standing to the right, Alexander is dressed in military attire, including a helmet, tunic, and sandals. He gestures with his hand towards Diogenes, seemingly in conversation. His posture and gaze suggest he is addressing the philosopher.
  • Diogenes: Diogenes is depicted nude, reclined and seated within the barrel, with only a cloth draping his legs. His expression is one of engagement, with his arm resting on the barrel's side. He seems to be pointing towards Alexander.
  • Barrel: The barrel is the central focus of the scene, suggesting it is Diogenes' home. The barrel's design is highly detailed, showing the wood and the arrangement of the staves.
  • Attendants: Behind Alexander, there are several soldiers bearing spears and standards, presumably accompanying him as part of his entourage. There is also a dark-skinned figure, who seems to be holding Alexander's cloak.
  • Background: The background includes a building in the right corner and some vegetation. The etching is meticulously detailed.

The composition suggests a moment of intellectual exchange or confrontation, emphasizing the stark contrast between the powerful ruler and the humble philosopher who chose to live a simple life. The inscription at the bottom gives the title: "Alexander and Diogenes by Gussavo Juzeppe after the front before letter".

The image is a monochromatic drawing depicting Alexander the Great meeting Diogenes. In the lower left corner, a naked, bald man with a beard lounges against a giant wooden barrel. The barrel is positioned against a rocky wall and a two-story building can be seen in the background.

The scene is set against a stark, unadorned background, and the monochromatic palette adds a historical and dramatic tone to the depiction of this legendary encounter. The bottom of the image includes a caption that reads, "Alexander and Diogenes, by Maur. jastoffe after the painting of gastano zanotti, proof before letters."
