A white marble statue of a nude male figure, identified as Mercury/Hermes, stands within a deep, arched grey stone architectural niche. The figure, depicted with an athletic build, wears a winged helmet (petasus) and winged sandals (talaria). Its head is turned slightly to the right, with a neutral facial expression. The right arm is raised, with the hand partially open in a gesturing posture (thumb and index finger extended). The left arm is severed and missing below the shoulder. A piece of drapery hangs from the left side of the torso, with a small, rounded pouch held by the remaining portion of the left forearm/hand. The statue's genitalia are visible. It stands on a multi-tiered grey stone pedestal. The surrounding niche is constructed from large, light-grey rusticated stone blocks, forming a distinct architectural recess. The scene is illuminated by ambient daylight, casting soft shadows. This statue is located in the courtyard of the Palazzo della Ragione in Milan, Italy.
