Hercules and Antaeus

Hieronymus Hopfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a muscular, nude man holding another man. The standing man has long curly hair and a beard, and his clothing is draped over his left forearm. He lifts the second man, who has curly hair and a beard, with his right arm around the second man's torso. The second man has his right leg lifted and arms wrapped around the standing man's head and neck. A tree stump decorated with a face and a snake wrapped around it behind the two men. Text above the standing man's head reads 'I H', and on the right reads 'DIVO HERCULI ZVLICHO'. Plants are on either side at their feet.
