Oval engraving with an unidentified subject, depicting a woman, dressed in a layered, flowing dress, in the center, running towards the left, her right hand extended in front of her, and going into the mouth of a dragon, which stands of a short column on the left side. Behind them is a crowd of men with surprised looks on their faces. On the right is a soldier, dressed in full Roman military garb, his back towards the viewer, and his head looking to the left. A similar subject appears in a print by Georg Pencz, titled "The mouth of Truth."
