Description from the seller

Sculpture of a torso of Heracles in Carrara marble powder. A Roman 2nd-century reproduction that is housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid. Heracles, Hercules in Rome, was a hero and demigod, son of Zeus and the mortal woman Alcmene. Heracles' most famous undertaking was the twelve labors, which were given to him by King Eurystheus as impossible tasks, which the demigod nonetheless managed to complete.

Professional academic sculpture, fully handmade by professional artisans. A piece from a museum plaster cast collection. The work has very ancient origins and is carried out entirely by hand by sculpting artists, made with materials such as scagliola and Carrara marble dust.

The indicated dimensions are understood to include the base, if present.

Shipping is entrusted to a packaging company (professional packaging).
