Here's a pencil drawing of Perseus with the head of The Medusa. It's in the plaster casts gallery at the V&A, an extraordinary collection of famous and beautiful sculptures from all around Europe. This one is a bit gruesome, but it's striking how Perseus was portrayed as a fairly light-weight lad, rather the the muscle-bound super-heroes you some times see. The sculptor was Hubert Gerhard, who was Dutch, and lived in the late 16th/early 17th centuries.
