What you're looking at appears to be a classical illustration or drawing, framed and captioned. The scene depicts three human figures: two women and a group of smaller figures that seem to be emerging from an opened vessel, which is often referred to as "Pandora's box" in popular culture. On the left side of the drawing, there's a woman depicted in a dynamic pose with her left arm extended. This could be Pandora herself, captured in the moment of opening the vase. From the vase, a chaotic group of smaller figures are shown as if they're escaping or being released into the air; these figures are likely meant to represent the various evils of the world that were contained within the vessel according to the myth. On the right, another woman is kneeling, her posture calm and contemplative, in stark contrast to the apparent motion and alarm on the left. The caption beneath the drawing reads: "1755 - John Flaxman, R.A. - 1826". "Pandora opening the Vase." Hesiod's Works and Days. This indicates that the artist of the illustration is John Flaxman, a Royal Academician (as denoted by R.A.), and that this drawing is meant to be an interpretation of a scene from "Works and Days," a poem by the ancient Greek writer Hesiod. The poem includes the earliest known account of the story of Pandora. The image has qualities of a sketch, with the pencil or charcoal lines capturing the essence of the scene with minimal detail but clear expression and movement. It's framed within several layers of borders, giving it a formal presentation.
