National Gallery of Art

The artwork depicts a seated figure with strong facial features, a beard, and shoulder-length wavy hair. The figure's lower body is covered with a cloth, revealing a muscular torso. The figure holds a bolt of lightning in his right hand and an eagle is positioned at his feet. The background features an ornate architectural setting with two columns, decorative elements, an inscription reading 'IVPPITER,' and winged figures in relief.
