Etching of a nude male statue-like figure with a cloak and a seated hound beside him, with a boar's head at lower right.

The Vatican Meleager, boar's head side, etching after the antique

An engraved print of a nude male figure standing in contrapposto, one hand on his hip and a cloak draped over his arm, beside a seated hunting hound. Dense parallel hatching shapes the muscular body and rocky plinth, and a boar's head rests at the lower right.
