| Title: | Marble Statuette of Herakles | |
| Description: | Torso alone preserved. The position in which the figure stood is not to be determined from the remaining fragment. The right arm appears to have been drawn backward. On the right shoulder is tied, in a "Herakles-vest" the lion's skin. One paw extends upward over the shoulder; the other hangs down, and the skin itself extends diagonally over the chest. The back is broken, but is so far distant from the front that the fragment have been for a relief.? The musculature of the abdomen is extremely developed, even exaggerated. The lion's skin is treated more like drapery than a skin - even the paws are as if made of cloth. Pentelic Marble. | |
