Hercules, Plate One from Twelve Etchings by Chifflart
An etching shows a muscular, bearded Hercules seated on a stone pedestal, his head turned toward a small figure at his side. Beneath him, a dense bed of rocks and a lion-like form fill the lower foreground, while fine parallel hatching shades the stone and background.
