English term or phrase: being worked on from below
Hola,
estoy traduciendo un curso sobre simbología alquímica y aparece esta frase: "We will just here look at emblem seven from this series which shows the hermaphrodite in the central space of the emblem being worked on from below by a two headed dragon form."

No entiendo el sentido de "worked on" aquí. En la imagen, una persona está de pie encima de un dragón...
Alguien puede ayudarme?

¡Gracias!

tratando de persuadirla / estímulándola sexualmente


Explanation:
El primer significado es de diccionario. El segundo, creo haberlo visto en algún texto, aunque en un uso más slang del idioma.
