"The Fourth Day (Dies IV)" is an engraving created by Hendrick Goltzius in 1596, as part of his series "The Creation of the World." The series consists of six engravings, each depicting one of the days of creation as described in the book of Genesis. 

Goltzius uses intricate lines and cross-hatching to create texture and shading in the engraving. The figures in the print are highly stylized, with exaggerated muscular forms and flowing robes, and the overall effect is one of grandeur and awe.

The print is notable for its intricate details, such as the intricate patterns on the robes of the angels and the swirling clouds and flames surrounding the central figure of God. Goltzius also includes a number of classical and mythological elements in the image, such as the figure of the cherubim, which are based on ancient Greek and Roman depictions of winged beings.

Overall, "The Fourth Day" is a powerful and grand image that showcases Goltzius's mastery of the engraving medium and his ability to create striking and memorable images. It remains a popular and enduring work of art, and a testament to the enduring power of printmaking as a medium for creative expression.
