The Farnese Hercules by Hendrick Goltzius: A black and white illustration of a large muscular male nude with his back to the viewer, viewed from below. He has curly hair and his left hand on his hip, while his right arm is draped over a pillar. The man's muscles are well-defined, and he is standing on a stone plinth. Two small men with ruffled collars are looking up at him from the bottom right corner. The background features a cloudy sky.
