The image shows a muscular male figure in a dynamic pose, appearing as if falling or being projected backward. The figure's body is contorted, with arms extended, legs bent, and defined musculature. His head is tilted back with a grimace, and wild thick hair. The figure is unclothed. The background includes a circular frame with a scene of a smaller flying figure, a seascape with rugged mountainous islands, a cloudy sky, and sunlight rays. Classical script borders the circular frame.
