Hercules Conquering Cacus ("Ercules")

Albrecht Dürer, c. 1496

This is a drawing of a scene with several figures. Two central muscular figures are engaging in combat, one with a weapon. The backdrop includes trees and a cityscape. The fine lines and shading create movement and texture, especially in the garments and scenery. The fallen figures' armor and the trees' style add to the scene's tension.
