This anonymous 16th century print, "Herme met kaal hoofd," features a Hermaphroditus figure at the center of a symmetrical composition. The figure is depicted with a beard and a bare chest, holding shields and spears. The Hermaphroditus figure is positioned directly below a heart with a bird inside, representing a spiritual or divine aspect. The overall design of the work includes stylized floral motifs and mythical creatures that allude to the classical tradition. This intricate print, currently in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the enduring interest in classical mythology and symbolism during the Renaissance period.
