Mercury 

This etching, "Mercury," by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, depicts the Roman god Mercury in a seated pose, holding a caduceus and a purse. The god is surrounded by a decorative frame, with winged creatures and a winged serpent depicted in the corners. The artwork was likely created sometime between 1720 and 1778, Piranesi’s lifetime, and highlights the artist's fascination with classical mythology and architecture. The precise date of creation remains unknown.
