The sculpture "Piping Pan" by Louis St. Gaudens depicts a nude male figure of a young boy. The boy is standing on a round base. He has curly hair adorned with leaves. He is barefoot and has his weight shifted onto his right leg. His left leg is slightly bent at the knee. The boy's right hand supports a set of panpipes to his lips, and his left fingers are positioned on the pipes. The sculpture is made of dark gray metal. The background of the image is white.
