The image shows a sketch of a seated figure, possibly modeled after a classical statue, with the figure's body visible from the thighs upward. The figure's posture suggests a relaxed or perhaps contemplative state, with one leg crossed over the other. Notable details include the defined musculature and the piece the figure is sitting on, which looks like a roughly sketched rocky base. On the lower part of the image, there's a handwritten note that reads "Mercury. Naples. from Herculaneum." This text likely refers to the subject of the sketch or its inspiration, indicating that the figure is meant to represent the Roman god Mercury and that the original statue or reference may come from Herculaneum, a town that, like Pompeii, was preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The handwriting suggests that the drawing could be part of an academic study or archaeological record. There's also a simple sketch, seemingly unrelated to the main figure, in the top right corner, and a handwritten number "61." on the top right, potentially indicating this piece as part of a series or collection.

This is a simple pencil sketch of a classical statue depicting Mercury (also known as Hermes in Greek mythology). The drawing shows a male figure in a relaxed seated pose, with a nude upper body and minimal clothing. The figure is perched on what appears to be a rock or pedestal. According to the handwritten note beneath the sketch, this is "Mercury Naples from Herculaneum," suggesting it's a drawing of a statue found in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum and now housed in Naples. The sketch is done with light, delicate lines and appears to be a study or quick observation drawing rather than a fully developed artwork.

The image is a pencil sketch of a statue depicting a seated male figure, likely a classical sculpture. The figure is shown in a relaxed pose, sitting on a rocky base with one leg extended and the other bent. The figure is nude, with well-defined musculature, particularly in the torso and arms. The head is turned slightly to the side, and the facial features are sketched in detail.

Below the sketch, there is a handwritten note that reads "Mercury. Naples from Herculaneum." This suggests that the statue is of Mercury (also known as Hermes in Greek mythology), and it is located in Naples, originating from the ancient city of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD, the same eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii.

The sketch captures the essence of the statue with clear, precise lines, highlighting the classical style and the anatomical details of the figure. The overall composition is balanced, with the figure taking up a significant portion of the page, leaving ample white space around it.
