Hercules at rest, Carrara marble, Provence 18th century

The god Heracles, whom the Romans called Hercules, is represented resting leaning on his club. He has just accomplished the first of the twelve labors which consisted of killing the lion of Nemea. He is dressed in his remains which are tied around his shoulders and uses his mouth of the lion as a headdress imitating a helmet.
His fixed gaze looks far away and suggests that he is preparing to face the next trials entrusted by King Eurystheus.

Beautiful state of conservation: wear to the skin of the marble due to its exposure
exterior.
