A drawing of Minos on a rearing horse, with the Cretan army behind him, looking over the walls of Alcathous's city, from which Scylla, surrounded by attendants, gazes at him with outspread arms. In the background are the departing Cretan ships (from Book VII, Ovid's Metamorphoses). From one of two 18th century albums of drawings, which, with the exception of four (W&C 134-7), were all preparatory studies for an edition of illustrations to Ovid's Metamorphoses. They were engraved in reverse by the artist, and were accompanied by distichs at the bottom of each plate. The first edition was published in Cologne in 1602, and the second in 1607.
