Our representation follows the painting by Sebastiano del Piombo in the collection of Lord Pembroke at Wilton House, Salisbury. It shows a young nobleman in rural shepherd's clothing with a wide-brimmed hat and a flute and is probably based on an image created by Giorgione. A different version is part of the collection of the Musée Sainte-Croix de Poitiers, inv. 882.1.369 (link).
