The artwork is a masterful representation of a scene from ancient history, depicting the moment when the physician Erasistratus reveals to King Seleucus I the true cause of his son Antiochus's illness: his unspoken love for his stepmother, Stratonice.

The painting is a prime example of West's ability to blend classical themes with the dramatic style of history painting that was popular during the 18th century. It showcases West's skill in composition, use of color, and his talent for conveying complex emotional narratives through art. The work is steeped in the Enlightenment values of the time, emphasizing reason, scientific inquiry, and the importance of human emotion.
