Description
Faun Fighting a Snake
Although the inscription indicates �Hercules�, the pointed ears of the figure reveal him to be a faun (forest god). The engraving is based on a drawing by Andrea Mantegna in the British Museum collection, in London. Besides following the master�s design, the anonymous engraver also emulated his robust style of drawing with thick, closely placed parallel lines.
