Mercury, the god of the planet Mercury, engraving after Raphael
An engraving shows the winged god Mercury, a nude youth holding a caduceus, in the foreground, while a winged female figure reclines above a curved arc with small figures. Fine cross-hatched lines model the muscular torso and draped cloth, and a Latin caption below reads Mercurius.
