Ulysees
Summary
A mythical scene with a nude man wrestling with a goat. The man has his arms around the goats neck and he is gripping the side of the goat with his legs. He looks out at the viewer. The goat has curly hair and large swirling horns, and is facing towards the right of the composition, with its head lowered to look at the man, and its left foot raised. Drawn over the horns of the goat is a line drawing of another nude man walking on all fours facing to the left of the composition. This man has just one eye, and therefore we can understand him as being the mythical figure Cyclops.
