Engraving depicting a male cyclops sitting on jagged rocks and holding a trumpet, with animals on the ground by his feet. Two closed eyes in the normal location are faintly visible on his head in addition to the single eye on his forehead, perhaps remnants of the artist's endeavor to draw the facial proportions.At sea, a nude female figure stands on a chariot led by dolphins and piloted by mermen with dragonfly wings. Artist name at lower left. Text on verso from book of origin, "Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes"
