The bearded river god reclines, leaning on his left elbow on a recumbant sphinx. He wears a wreath of corn and flowers and has a drape over his right leg and left arm. He turns his head to his left. On his left arm he holds a decorated cornucopia full of fruits and leaves, out of which rises a small nude male holding a basket on his head. The statue is on a base marked with flowing water and is set in a landscape.
