Footnotes

A painting depicting Hercules after his victory over Achelous given to a follower of Claesz. Moyaert (on panel, 52.5 x 68 cm.) is in the Kalinin Museum, Russia. The latter shows Hercules standing on the right hand side, rather than on the left, as is the case in the present work. The group around the tree on the left and in particular the seated female figure holding the bunch of grapes on the right can also be found in a drawing by Moyaert entitled Bacchus and Ariadne on Naxos in the Muzeum Narodowe, Warsaw (fig. 1).
