Hercules Resting (recto); Footed Vessel with Handle (verso)

Annibale Carracci

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a drawing of a nude male figure sitting on the ground. He is muscular and has short hair. His right arm is bent at the elbow and hand on his head, while his left hand is on his stomach. His left leg is bent at the knee and right leg is extended. The figure is drawn in shades of gray on a brown background. A thin white border surrounds the drawing. On the right side of the image, a fainter sketch of a vessel with a handle can be seen. The vessel appears to have a footed base.
