A horizontally oriented print in black ink on beige paper depicting Hercules, a muscular man, carrying two columns. Hercules steps to our right, back to us, with one column braced against his right shoulder and the other under his left arm. He walks through a city, domed buildings and columned arches extending across the background. Hatches and stippling shade the scene. Written across the upper center is “Gaditanas Columnas Statuit Hercules.”
