Description
English: Youth untying his sandal, so-called “Sandalbinder Hermes”. Left arm and shoulder, right forearm and thigh, part of the chlamys and the plinth are modern restorations; the ploughshare at the base of the rock is a modern addition based on an errouneous identification with L. Quinctius Cincinnatus; the head is ancient but may be nonpertinent to the statue. Pentelic marble (body), Roman copy of the 2nd century CE after a Greek original of the late 4th century BC. From the Theater of Marcellus in Rome.

Le bras et l'épaule gauches, la cuisse et l'avant-bras droits, une partie de la chlamyde et de la plinthe sont des restaurations modernes ; le soc de charrue au pied du rocher est un ajout moderne fondé sur une interprétation erronnée de la statue comme représentant L. Quinctius Cincinnatus ; la tête est antique mais n'appartient peut-être pas au corps. Marbre du Pentélique (corps), copie romaine du IIe siècle ap. J.-C. d'après un original grec de la fin du IVe siècle av. J.-C. Provenance : théâtre de Marcellus, Rome.
