Description
The headless figure holds an empty basket or vessel against his hip, partially covered by a draped cloth. One fold of the drapery modestly conceals the genitals of the youthful attendant. His stance is slightly tilted, likely in a contrapposto pose. A lock of hair falls gracefully over his right shoulder.
