This 1690 marble sculpture by Pierre Bourdict is entitled "Le Tibre". There are many sculptures in France with representations of important rivers with human figures...and this work celebrates Rome's Tiber. It depicts a naked bearded man lounging on his side. There is a cornucopia near his left arm. The viewer can also see Romulus and Remus feeding from a wolf. The man holds an object...perhaps an oar?, in his left arm.
