Sculpture Child Hercules on Lion Skin by Renè Rod in Terracotta

About the Item

Masterful sculpture by the French artist Renè Rod made in terracotta at the end of the 19th century, sublimely showing us Hercules as a child, lying on a lion skin representing strength. In front of him, a basket with flowers alluding to the beauty of man and on the basket, capturing the gaze of the young Hercules, a butterfly as a sign of nature and freedom. The work is signed next to the lion's head. An exquisite piece of the highest quality.
