To be fair, that's a reasonably accurate depiction of the mythological character of the same name. To recap, Andromeda was a Greek princess whose father had the effrontery to proclaim that she was more beautiful than the Nereids (sea nymphs). The Greek gods are touchy bunch, and Poseidon demanded that she be stripped naked and chained to a rock, where she was to be raped by a sea monster. Fortunately, Perseus (of Medusa slaying fame) pops up in the nick of time to spare her from that fate. Some classic artworks depicting the events are even racier, as the chains are rarely used to cover up her naughty bits.
