Engraving, part of a set of 8 prints created by Delaune after Marcantonio Raimondi, Raphael, Rosso, and Michelangelo. This print represents the rape of Hellen, who is seen near the center of the picture, being forced on a boat by the men around her. In the background, soldiers on horseback are crossing a bridge and, further behind, a building stands on the left, and ships sail on the right. A faraway town bordering a row of mountains is also seen in the background. This is an inverted copy of a print by Marcantonio Raimondi, after Raphael.
