The head of a man attending at the death of Eudamidas. Stipple print by L. Ruotte after G. Roques, 1810, after N. Poussin. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
Eudamidas dictated his will on his deathbed, leaving the care of his mother and daughter to two friends. The lettering interprets the man depicted as a physician, presumably because he holds one hand on the heart of Eudamidas and the other on his own heart, in order to compare the heart-beats. The publisher's legal deposit statement (loc. cit.) names this man as Charixenus, the man to whom Eudamidas entrusted the care of his daughter
