Descripción
Also known as Seated Mercury.
The Resting Hermes was considered a prize find in the late eighteenth century — being bronze adds considerably to its rarity value — and was very widely copied in northern Europe.
The proportions and subtle twist of the body are in the sculptural tradition of Lysippos, though the head is reminiscent of portraits of Augustus, some 250 or 300 years later. It cannot of course be later than 79 CE, when Herculaneum was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius, along with neighbouring Pompeii
