Flute-player; a youth, standing with bare feet on a plinth, holds the double flutes to his lips. He wears a round wig and a long splayed chiton. The mouth-bands are indicated by two stripes of red paint. The wig is black; along the sides and bottom of the chiton is a red border, which is doubled on the shoulders. The back is sawn flat. The work is hasty; the right elbow is injured.
