Achilles discovered among the daughters of Lycomedes; six young women gathered around a basket with jewels and armour which they received as a gift (as part of his ruse to find Achilles amongst them) from Ulysses who is standing at left, Achilles standing at centre, dressed in female clothes and recognised by Diomedes and Ulysses because showing no interest in the jewels but putting a helmet on, Deidamia looking at Achilles trying to warn him; within a frame with sculptured terms of Athena and a personification of 'Cunning' with a fox on either side, two cornucopia in foreground, a cartouche with garlands and putti above; after an oil-sketch by Peter Paul Rubens. 1724 Etching and engraving
