This engraving (i think) actually shows the discovery of the body of the Roman emperor Nero just after he had killed himself, but i am far from certain; the men’s swords are drawn.

There are three men in long robes pointing their swords at a man prone on the ground, face up, arms outstretched. It is a throne room, with vast pillars having ornate carving, and Roman-style semicircular arches.

The engraving is signed Fusté, but i am not certain exactly who is meant. There is also a monogram SJ (or JS) for the engraver.
