Hercules Resting, graphite study of a seated nude
A graphite sketch on cream paper shows a nude male figure seen from behind, seated and turned toward the right, with one arm bent and his weight leaning on a shadowed ledge. Loose, searching contour lines model the back, hip and thigh, while a sparse hatched table edge sits at the right.
