The present sculpture owes much in form to that of the Farnese Hercules (Museo Nazionale, Naples). The lineature of the torso and positioning of the feet are almost identical. The pelt in this instance, however is draped, arguably more dramatically, over Hercules's left shoulder, rather than the tree stump, and his club supported by his left hand and resting by his feet. Favourable aesthetic comparisons, in respect of the latter, may also be drawn with the Bronze Hercules (Rome, Musei Capitolini, Palazzo dei Conservatori); the club in this is instance supported at an uncomfortable angle above the ground.
