Study of a bearded male figure (Hercules?)

Late XVII century. Pencil on laid paper.
Not on display

The drawing depicts the study of a half-figure of a bearded man in profile facing left. He advances violently, wielding a club in both hands.

Probably by Conchillos, or at least made using the same technique as other works attributed to him, its style is strongly reminiscent of the style of Herrera the Elder.
