Sculpture in marble powder depicting Hercules with the Nemean Lion, originating from Italy.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An important sculpture depicting Hercules (Heracles), a hero of Greek mythology, shown with the famous Nemean Lion’s skin placed on his head, a symbol of his first and most famous labors.
The work presents a composition with a strong visual impact: the stern, bearded face of the hero emerges beneath the lion’s head, carved with great attention to anatomical detail, giving the whole a solemn and monumental character. The intense expression and the sculptural rendering of the surfaces recall the models of classical sculpture from the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Made from marble powder, the sculpture offers a pleasant tactile texture and a patina that evokes the appearance of ancient works. It is mounted on an elegant modern metal stand with a square base, which ensures stability and enhances the display. The shipment will be entrusted to a professional company that will handle professional and careful packaging, with express courier and a trackable package. No reserve price.
