Statue of an athlete; the head is a copy of the Meleager of Skopas

With his left leg extended forwards, and his two arms upraised he is seemingly awaiting his adversary's attack. The hermes of Hercules and the lion's skin which serve as a support to his left leg are an allusion to the gymnasium. Like the preceeding ones this noble work is in the style of Lysippus.

Inv. nr. 473. H. 2.10.
