Statuette, Kleinbronze, Bronze, Herkules, Herakles

um 1550

This torso of a bearded man might be Hercules. The small, Italian bronzes sometimes were so similar to the Roman originals that they were mixed up with the much admired antique originals. The arms and the abdomen of this Hercules are intentionally incomplete to fake an archaeological find.
