Albumen print | 25.0 x 41.0 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854565
A photograph of a drawing depicting the Belvedere Torso now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.260), where it is catalogued as possibly by Raphael.
This statue is a fragmentary marble sculpture (here seen from behind) now in the Vatican Museum (inv. no. 1192). The sculpture dates from the 1st century B.C. and it is signed by the Athenian sculptor Apollonios, who was probably inspired by a bronze from the first half of the 2nd century B.C.. The identification of the figure has been disputed, with the names of Hercules and Ajax suggested.
