From the Rijksmuseum record

Renaissance artists often used the battle between the ancient hero Hercules and the giant Antheus to show athletic figures locked in complex wrestling holds. Three different engravers made prints based on Andrea Mantegna’s Hercules and Antaeus. An impression in blue ink is especially rare.
