A white marble sculpture depicting a nude youthful male figure seated on the back of a large eagle is centered in a well-lit interior space. The youth, with curly hair, looks downwards while the eagle's head is turned upwards towards him, its beak slightly ajar, displaying detailed feathers. The boy's hands rest on the eagle's form. The background features light-colored walls with architectural paneling and arched passages. On the right, a multi-branched wall sconce with three illuminated candle-shaped bulbs casts warm light onto the wall. The setting is a grand, institutional interior, characteristic of a major museum or public building. This specific sculpture and environment are located within the Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
