Context:
In 1876, Moreau returned to the Salon after a hiatus of half a dozen years and created a great sensation with such works as the painting of "Hercules and the Hydra" in the Art Institute. This preparatory study for that painting shows an altogether different perception of the hero--a craggy and scrawny figure--than the idealistic torso of the Apollo Belvedere that Moreau adopted for the finished work.
