The scene depicts a weathered bronze statue of a nude male figure, heavily patinated with blue-green verdigris, set outdoors in the city of Pompeii, Italy. The location is an archaeological park or garden area. The youthful male figure, with a muscular build and short, styled hair, is depicted in a dynamic, leaning posture, with its head tilted downwards and to its left. Its genitalia are visible. The figure carries a large bird, consistent with a goose or swan, slung over its right shoulder, held by the neck with its right hand. The bird's head is visible near the figure's right shoulder, and its body extends down the figure's back. In its clenched left hand, held near the waist, the figure grips an indistinct object, possibly a club or a cluster of items. The statue stands on a rectangular, light-colored stone plinth, which rests on a paved surface of dark, irregular cobblestones. This paving features a curvilinear pattern created by lighter-colored stones. Behind the statue, there is a low wall constructed of dark volcanic stones, topped with a course of reddish-brown bricks. Above this wall is a dark metal fence composed of vertical bars. Beyond the fence, a dense, manicured green hedge is visible. The sky is overcast with light gray clouds, providing diffused illumination to the scene.
