About this work
Hercules fights on a ship with two men, helped by (or attacked by?) a number of soldiers. According to TIB, Bartsch, and Hol, this concerns the story of Hercules' fight against the three-bodied giant Geryoneus, but that is difficult to recognize in the depiction. Below the depiction a six-line Latin poem.
