Monochrome image of Perseus attacking the sea monster that threatens to devour Andromeda. At left, Andromeda is chained to the rock; she is nearly nude, with intricately rendered drapery swirling about her limbs. She glares angrily at the monster, twisting her body away from it. The monster itself, at bottom right, has a dragonlike head, a webbed tail, and lizardlike claws; it opens its mouth to attack Andromeda as Perseus leaps down from above, dagger stabbing into the monster's back. His shield is carried in his other hand; atop it is Medusa's head. His musculature and the drapery of his clothing is rendered in great detail. In the background are three small figures. There is an elaborately drawn border styled as a frame; it bears the title text. The page is entitled "BOOK XXII." Below the image are the artist and publisher attributions.
