Mercury at Ease

Description The youth, probably representing Mercury, is nude except for a cloak thrown around his shoulders and wrapped around his left arm. He is seated and would likely have perched on a rock, in the same pose as other seated Mercury figures. The remains of inlay are visible in his eyes.
