Displayed in portrait orientation, the reproduced image is an imaginative play on the myth of Narcissus. A group of 10 men are bathing nude in a river along the edge of the forest; some are gazing at their own image. The focal image is a young man with flowers in his thick curly hair, facing the viewer in full-frontal nudity, occupying the length of the image at right. He is standing on a lily pad and holds a lily in his left hand, which rests at his hip. His right arm is bent, and the palm of his right hand is open toward the viewer.
