Item description

Sculpture of Hercules in gilt bronze wearing the skin of the Nemean lion, the removable club held up in his right hand in burnished bronze, while in the opposite hand are clutched the three golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides. The arm itself rests on a walnut column as does the base. It is a bronze, also used as part of an early 19th century clock, clearly inspired by the Farnese Hercules, particularly in the pensive attitude and posture of the legs. The work bears a certificate of authenticity.
