Fighting chimeras and animals from Aesop's fables
An engraved print shows a winged, horned dragon-like chimera with a lion-headed body and a long scaly tail, locked in combat with an elephant at right. A bird with spread wings hovers above, and the monsters writhe over a rocky ground. The monogram NB appears in the upper right corner, and the date 1594 is inscribed below the scene.
