The page is divided into two parts, a central element and a historical frame. In the center, an image is inserted between an upper band inscribed with the title "death of procris" and the text explaining the episode represented. Procris is shown lying against a tree, with a javelin stuck in her heart. Cephalus is at his side, his left hand holds the javelin while his right hand supports procris' head. In the background, mountains and an architectural construction reminiscent of a city. Date: 1564. Medium: gravure. Collection: Lyon, Bibliothèque municipale. Mort de Procris
