Male torso of the Richelieu Hermes type; Roman copy from the 1st - 2nd c. AD after a Greek original from ca. 360–330 BC

The sculpture is property of the Musée du Louvre and was transfered to Warsaw in 1960 as a long-term loan. It is a Roman copy of a very common type of representation known as the Richelieu Hermes; which emerged after the period of Polykleitos' activity. It already shows certain characteristics of the works of Lysippos; the original is dated to the years 360–330 BC. The "Warsaw" copy most probably dates to the turn of the 1st and 2nd century AD.
