He has a wreath in his hair, and a mantle draped loosely around his shoulders. At the right, either walking away from or leading the older man, is a nude youth. He stands frontally, looking back at the man. He wears a wreath in his hair, and carries a torch in his right hand and a jug in his left. Strapped to his back is a box or basket.
