Figure VII.3. Merodach (Marduk) sets forth to attack Tiamat.  From the Painting by E. Wallcousins [in original text]

This black and white drawing shows a bearded king on standing in the back of a chariot, his hand raised and holding a glowing lightning bolt, storm clouds streaming behind him.  At the front of the chariot, his charioteer bends over the four white horses pulling the chariot, urging them to greater speed.  In the background can be seen the faint silhouettes of other soldiers, swords raised as they fight.
