This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Roman goddess Juno placing the eyes of Argus, a giant with 100 eyes, into the tail of her peacock. The story of Argus, who was slain by Mercury, is a famous myth connected to Juno, who was jealous of Io, whom Zeus was in love with. The print is notable for its intricate details, showing Juno's elegant figure, the majestic peacock, and the fallen Argus, and serves as a visual representation of a classic mythological story.
