Description
Cast bronze sculpture of a standing male figure, nude but for a cloak and winged hat, which indicates that this is a representation of Mercury. The cloak hangs over the figure's left shoulder and forearm, and he is holding a purse in his right hand. The figure is holding a contrapposto pose. The musculature of the sculpture, as well as the ears, eyes, and hair, is well defined despite the worn nature of the bronze.
