| Reverse description | Colored depiction of Hercules performing his sixth labor — the slaying of the Stymphalian Birds — rendered in the style of a Renaissance old-master drawing with warm ochre and sepia tones. The hero is shown in dynamic full-figure stance, drawing a large bow aimed toward birds in flight at the upper left of the composition. A second figure appears behind Hercules in the scene. The detailed landscape background includes rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, faithfully reproducing the character of a classical ink-and-wash sketch applied as polychrome color printing to the silver field. |
