Mask of Hercules

Emile Antoine Bourdelle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a bronze head and neck of a man with a serious expression. The man has short hair. His eyes are cast slightly upward. He has deep lines on his face, particularly between his eyebrows, around his eyes, and on his chin. The bronze has a dark patina with green undertones. The sculpture sits on a black rectangular base. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
