Getting started with the collection:
Hercules with the Head of the Nemean Lion
anonymous, 1548
Sheets from the dismantled Zobel Album occasionally surface on the market. They can be recognized by their format and the number written in the upper left corner. In 2011, the Rijksmuseum acquired this exceptionally rare engraving of the muscular demigod Hercules holding his club in one hand and the skin of the Nemean lion in the other.
