M.
Guillaume, taking it for granted that the Victory was intended for the tomb, makes the plausible suggestion that some of the peculiarities which render it in composition awkward, would have been justified by the addition of bronze wings.

Mr.Heath Wilson, seeking after an allegory, is fain to believe that it represents Michelangelo's own state of subjection while employed upon the Serravezza quarries.
Last comes the so-called Adonis of the Bargello Palace, which not improbably was designed for one of the figures prostrate below the feet of a victorious Genius.

It bears, indeed, much resemblance to a roughly indicated nude at the extreme right of the sketch for the tomb.

Upon this supposition, Michelangelo must have left it in a very unfinished state, with an unshaped block beneath the raised right thigh.

This block has now been converted into a boar.
