About this work
The hero Gaius Mucius Scaevola full-length, a sword in his right hand, the scabbard in his left hand. In the background, he is seen fearlessly thrusting his right hand into the fire before King Porsenna. Below the image two times two lines of Latin verse. This print is part of a series of ten prints, consisting of an unnumbered title print, eight numbered depictions of heroes, and an unnumbered concluding print.
