About this work

This engraving depicts a man with snakes in his hair, holding an apple in his right hand and a snake in his left. He is draped in a flowing cloth, and a dog stands beside him. The background features a landscape with trees, hills, and a body of water. The man's facial expression conveys a sense of anguish, and the snakes in his hair add to the overall sense of turmoil. The dog, on the other hand, appears calm and serene, creating a striking contrast between the two figures. This engraving is characteristic of the Renaissance style, and you can explore more works from this period by looking into the Renaissance movement.
