The image captures the essence of this remarkable piece housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA. Measuring at a modest size of 3 5/8 x 2 11/16 inches (9.21 x 6.83 cm), this intricate depiction transports viewers into a mythical realm where Hercules confronts the formidable Cerberus - a three-headed dog guarding the gates to the Underworld. Aldegrever's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays Hercules' strength and determination while struggling against the monstrous creature. The composition exudes an air of intensity and drama, with every line and contour meticulously etched onto paper. Through his masterful technique, Aldegrever brings this legendary tale to life, inviting us to witness Hercules' heroic feat firsthand. Acquired as part of The William M.
