The nude winged putto lies asleep on his back on a skin spread over rocks, which form a mound beneath his shoulder. His right arm is across his body, his left arm is extended and the string of his bow lies loose in his fingers. There is a lizard in his left armpit, another near his left foot. A burning torch lies on the ground near his right hand.
