You see a woman, Venus, emerging from the sea. She's surrounded by seaweed and foam. The artist made this print to share his earlier painting with more people, and it's interesting because he was experimenting with a new medium, lithography, which was different from his usual painting. He worked with another artist, Ingres, on this project. They both drew the pictures, then made lithographs from them. Check out the work of artist: Théodore Chassériau (French, 1819–1856)
