Summary: Zephyr stands with head turned to the proper left, cheeks puffed and lips together as if he's whistling. His weight rests on his proper left leg and the proper right leg is forward with foot turned out. His hair is close to his head but ruffled as if by a breeze. He is nude except for a billowing drape which falls across his proper right shoulder and down across his thighs. He holds the drape near his shoulder with his proper left hand. In his proper right hand he holds a torch near his proper right hip. At his feet is a tree trunk and an acanthus leaf.
