Figure descriptions
A man, identified in the poem text as Adonis, lies on the ground dying. He leans on
his left elbow and holds his right arm up
in front of his face. His shield lies on the ground beside him. Adonis holds onto
an object which emerges from his thigh; the poem
text identifies the object as a large tusk. There is a body of water and large mountains
behind him. 3/4-page illustration contained
