The chryselephantine (gold & ivory) statue of Jupiter (more correctly Zeus) at Olympia, from a series depicting the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

To his right is a statue of Hercules, and in the foreground is a regal figure handing out wreaths to the winners of the Olympic Games, with a pair of wrestlers bottom right. The engraver was either of two Jacques Honervogts, father (active 1608-66), or son (c.1623-94). One was sued by Rubens for breach of copyright, and certainly this is a copy (including the verse) of an engraving by Philips Galle of the same subject.
