God Mercury

Statue of Roman god Mercury, titled "Mercure". Mercury is a major Roman god. He is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he is also the guide of souls to the underworld.

This is a fine art print of a beautiful engraving of a statue at Versaille Palace in France made in 1689 by Simon Thomassin. It's from his work "Recuel des Statue, Groupes, Fontaines, Termes, Vases et Autres Mangifique Ornamens du Chateau et Parc de Versailles", which shows the magnificent statues, fountains and ornaments at the Palace of Versaille.
