The composition is divided into three registers. The young woman rests her arm on the antique head of Hercules and looks towards the classical standing nude. Within the beard of Hercules can be discerned, upside down, the etched outline of a woman resting on her elbow. Here Picasso uses the etching plate like a sketch pad.
