Monochrome engraving illustrating scenes from Ovid. Diana, identifiable by her crescent-moon headdress, is visible in the front left corner. In the front right corner, a man with a shield stands over a slain serpent. Above, Hermes descends from the clouds and smoke billows up from a burning mansion. In the background, a single-sailed ship strewn with floral vines is surrounded by several whales or sea serpents. Above the image is the text, "Lib. 3 pag.121"
