This image depicts the god Apollo (also known as Phoebus) dressed as a shepherd as he tends to his cattle and sheep. As he is the god of music, he is also depicted playing a fluted instrument. Apollo was exiled to earth for nine years by Jupiter and during that time he became a shepherd to Admetus, the king of Thessaly. This image represents his time as a shepherd on earth.
