Description
Round-shaped statuette on an irregular transverse-rectangular plinth above a profiled pedestal with a protruding front surface. Loosely leaning against a tree-stump that grows up from the left rear corner of the plinth and supporting the bagpipe on top of it, the musician stands in a prancing posture, swinging his relieved left leg far to one side. He tilted his head with the hat, which had slipped sideways, to his right shoulder, while he used his hands to squeeze the bagpipe, which was pressed under his left upper arm, and hung over his left shoulder.
