Etching of a nude male statue with a cloak over one shoulder, a dog at his feet, and a boar's head on a stump beside him.

The Vatican Meleager, front view, etching by François Perrier

An etching of a nude male statue standing in contrast with a draped cloak over one shoulder, a dog at his left leg, and a boar's head on a tree stump beside him. Fine parallel hatching models the musculature and the stone-like surfaces, with a plain ground line beneath the figures.
