Apollo Sauroctonos

About this work

The image depicts a nude male figure standing beside a column, with his left arm resting on the column's capital. The figure is turned slightly to the right, with his weight shifted onto his right leg. His left leg is bent at the knee, and his left foot is placed behind his right foot. The column features an intricate design, including a scroll-like motif on its capital. The background of the image is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the darker tones of the figure and column. This etching is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialized in the technique, such as Bisschop, Jan de.
