"Hercules and the Nemean Lion" Dramatic Art Deco Sculptural Panel with Nude Male

About the Item

This unique panel, depicting a nude Hercules figure with sword in hand, fending off the snarling Nemean lion, represents the first of his famous Twelve Labors. The strong, stylized figure of Hercules, and the bold relief of the panel are Classic Art Deco hallmarks. The artist, K. George, captures the drama and action of the scene with great flair. The medium is tinted plaster.
