Pluto

Hendrik Goltzius after Polidoro da Caravaggio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a muscular man holding a two-pronged staff. He is in a strong stance with one foot forward and one foot slightly back. He has a full beard, curly hair, and is looking to the side. He is standing in front of an architectural background with a rounded arch, two columns, and decorative elements. The engraving details highlight contrast and texture. The name "PLVTO" is inscribed above the figure.
