The image is a black and white photograph of a statue of a man's head and torso. The statue appears to be made of marble or stone and is mounted on a stone wall. The man is lying on his back with his head resting on a pedestal. He has long, curly hair that is styled in loose curls and is looking off to the side with a serious expression on his face. His arms are stretched out to the sides and his legs are bent at the knees. He is holding a scroll-like object in his right hand. The sculpture is detailed and lifelike, with intricate lines and curves. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
