About the Item
Antique print titled 'Io changée en Vache (..)'. This print depicts Io changing into a Cow: Mercury cutting off Argus's head.

Her mistress Hera set ever-watchful Argus Panoptes to guard her, but Mercury / Hermes was sent to distract the guardian and slay him. This print originates from 'Tafereel, of Beschryving van den prachtigen Tempel der Zang-Godinnen' by B. Picart.
