Hermes with Caduceus - Classical Mythological Engraving #133657 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line engraving shows Hermes (Roman Mercury) in a dynamic seated pose, gripping the caduceus-a staff entwined by two serpents and topped with wings-while wearing a petasos hat and talaria (winged sandals). His muscular physique, draped cloth, and serene expression reflect neoclassical ideals of harmony and divine authority. The fine cross-hatching adds depth and texture, typical of 19th-century mythological illustrations.
