Heracles is standing on a base, in heroic nudity, leaning on his club, his forearm covered with the remains of a lion. His right hand, behind his back, holds the apples from the Garden of the Hesperides.
The statue is a Roman marble copy of a lost bronze original by the Greek sculptor Lysippus, dating from the 4th century BC. Numerous reproductions and variations, both large and small, of the "Hercules Farnese" from Roman times testify to the fame this statue enjoyed in antiquity.
