He studied arts at the Moscow Stroganov Art Academy and Petrograd Art School. In 1927 he was back in Harbin working as a photographer for the China East Railway and after nine months of this work, he was able to open his own photo studio.Skvirsky moved to Shanghai in 1932, where he joined Sanzetti’s Photo Studio, which he bought out in 1935. He also contributed designs to the productions of the Russian opera and ballet at the Lyceum Theatre. One of the founders and activists of the Shanghai artistic society HLAM (Society for Artists, Writers, Entertainers and Musicians), Skvirsky had a private exhibition of his photographic art there, in January 1934.‘Skvirsky quickly became the most sought-after photographer in Shanghai and beyond. Exceptionally well connected, he received commissions from Chinese oligarchs, ruling elite and diplomats, such as the Kung and Soong clans, Wellington Koo’s family and C. T. Wong, the Chinese Ambassador to the USA. Skvirsky enjoyed friendship of Shanghai’s foreign elite, such as Victor Sassoon, who was a passionate photographer himself. In 1937, by the invitation of China’s leader Chiang Kai-shek, Skvirsky took exclusive photographs of Chiang’s family at their country residence near Nanking.In June 1935, Leonid Skvirsky married the American actress Lulah Thompson (also known as Halsey Armstrong), his favourite model and muse, who readily posed for risqué photographs. In 1936, having left his Shanghai studio in the hands of the associates, Skvirsky headed to India and spent more than a year in Bombay (Mumbai). During that time, he reorganized the famous Hamilton Studios, increasing its revenue six times. He also won a countrywide photo contest and photographed Indian celebrities and members of the royal court.In 1938, in the wake of the Japanese attacks on Shanghai, Skvirsky and wife relocated to Lulah Thompson’s hometown Atlanta, USA. The photographer brought some 150 of his best shots with him, which won him acclaim and prizes in artistic competitions. Leonid Skvirsky died in 1969.’(Katya Knyazeva, "Leonid Skvirsky", METROMOD Archive online, 2021).

It was based upon a much earlier Greek bronze figure, dating back to the 4th Century BC which was finally lost in the sacking of Constantinople in 1205 by the Crusaders. Despite his strength, Hercules is depicted standing wearily, leaning on his club hewn from a mighty olive tree plucked from the ground, with the skin of the ferocious Nemean lion beneath his arm, who he'd fought and killed as one of his first Labours. In his opposing hand, held behind his back, are three golden apples stolen from the Garden of the Hesperides, one of his final tasks.
