In this scene, Circe, a powerful witch and goddess, receives Ulysses (also known as Odysseus) and his companions. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the mystical forest setting where this encounter takes place. Towering pine and spruce trees surround them, creating an atmosphere that is both ethereal and mysterious. The artist's skillful rendering allows us to witness the divine presence of Circe herself.
