Description

A man with bare shoulders stands behind a draped marble statue, whose robed body and legs are visible on a stone plinth. Behind them rises a wall of large rectangular limestone blocks, with a dark gap at the right and a tree and sky at the upper left. The statue appears to lack a head in this view.
