The image is an engraving depicting a powerful and dynamic scene from classical mythology. A muscular, bearded man, identified as Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology), is shown in the act of battling a dragon or serpent-like creature. Heracles is wielding a large club in his right hand, raised ready to strike, while his left hand grips one of the dragon's heads.

The dragon is portrayed with multiple heads and a long serpent tail, which coils and twists under Heracles' feet. The creature appears formidable but is being overpowered by the strength and determination of Heracles.

The background reveals a rugged landscape with rocky formations, trees, and bushes, all intricately detailed. On the right side of the image, under the large tree, there are three apples, suggesting the context of Heracles’ Eleventh Labor—the task of retrieving the golden apples of the Hesperides.

The Latin inscription beneath the scene reads, "Undecimum mala Hesperidum distractos Triumphum," further referencing this labor. The engraving, with its fine lines and shading, effectively captures the intense action and heroic struggle of the mythological narrative.
