Soft, flowing transitions between the individual sections of the musculature characterise this life-size torso, which, due to the absence of pubic hair, appears to be that of a boy or youth. The boyishness and the posture of our torso can be found in a statue group depicting a standing Ganymede with eagle (resp. Zeus in the guise of an eagle). This type is based on a Greek original and has come down to us in several Roman marble copies. On the left side of the back (presumably Latin) letters are recognisable. They are probably the remains of a – possibly ancient – inscription or graffito. Historical restorations to the left shoulder blade. A few superficial fillings, two larger fillings at the belly and the left shoulder blade.
