Black and white image of a man dragging a three-headed dog on a leash. The man has curly hair and a beard. He is shirtless and wearing a cloth around his waist. The dog has three heads, each with an open mouth. The dog appears to have flames emanating from its back. There are buildings visible in the background, some with smoke billowing from them. The image depicts a scene from Greek mythology. The man is Hercules, and the dog is Cerberus.
