Engraving of a wounded man on a couch being tended by figures in a columned hall, with a landscape beyond the arches.

Telephus (son of Hercules) cured of a potentially fatal wound with some rust from Achilles' spear, with which he had originally been wounded. Engraving by B. Picart, 1730, after P. Brebiette.

An engraved scene shows a wounded man reclining on a couch while a bearded figure in a turban and a standing man in a cloak tend his thigh with a tool. A seated attendant holds a bowl nearby, and arches open onto a distant landscape. Fine hatching models the draped curtains and muscular figures.

Español: Telefo curado con óxido de la lanza de Aquiles

Un grabado muestra a un hombre herido recostado en un diván mientras una figura barbuda con turbante y otro hombre de pie con capa atienden su muslo. Un ayudante sentado sostiene un recipiente cerca, y unos arcos se abren hacia un paisaje lejano. El rayado fino modela las cortinas y los cuerpos musculosos.

Português: Télefo curado com ferrugem da lança de Aquiles

Uma gravura mostra um homem ferido reclinado em um divã enquanto uma figura barbada de turbante e outro homem de pé, com manto, tratam sua coxa. Um auxiliar sentado segura um recipiente por perto, e arcos se abrem para uma paisagem distante. Hachuras finas modelam as cortinas e os corpos musculosos.
