The Labors of Hercules: Hercules Killing the Giant Cacus

Hans Sebald Beham

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white drawing of a muscular man hitting a giant with a club. The man has a cloth wrapped around his waist and shoulder-length hair. The giant on the ground has flames coming out of his mouth, and a boar's head on his body. The scene takes place in a rocky area with plants. Four lines of text are written at the top. In the upper-left corner, there is a small square with "1545" and "HSB". The image is bordered by a thin line. The background is off-white.
