In lack of attributes, the figure cannot be identified with any mythological hero. It is a study of the human form, which is shown in a fascinating pose. ## Related artworks - [Hercules Pomarius]() - [Hercules Pomarius]() - [Nude Warrior]() - [Samson Slaying the Philistine]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
