Winged Atlas-Hercules

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Winged Atlas-Hercules" by an unknown artist depicts a muscular male figure with wings protruding from his back, kneeling on one knee. The figure has a thick mustache and a stern expression. He wears a cloth draped over his left shoulder, tied at the center of his chest. His right hand rests on the ground beside him, while his left hand is positioned near his knee. The figure's right leg is bent at the knee, with his foot flat on the ground, and his left leg is extended behind him. The sculpture is made of gray stone and sits on a black base. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
