If one looks again at the bottom of the painting, immediately after Patroclus, Orpheus is represented, as if sitting on a hill, and he has in his left hand a kithara and with the other hand he touches a willow tree. {It is the branches that he is touching and he is leaning against the tree.} But the grove seems to be that of Persephone, where according to Homer poplar trees and willows grow.

ἀποβλέψαντι δὲ αὖθις ἐς τὰ κάτω τῆς γραφῆς, ἔστιν ἐφεξῆς μετὰ τὸν Πάτροκλον οἷα ἐπὶ λόφου τινὸς Ὀρφεὺς καθεζόμενος, ἐφάπτεται δὲ καὶ τῆι ἀριστερᾶι κιθάρας, τῆι δὲ ἑτέραι χειρὶ ἰτέας ψαύει· {κλῶνές εἰσιν ὧν ψαύει, προανακέκλιται δὲ τῶι δένδρωι.} κλῶνες…δένδρωι del. Rocha-Pereira. τὸ δὲ ἄλσος ἔοικεν εἶναι τῆς Περσεφόνης, ἔνθα αἴγειροι καὶ ἰτέαι δόξηι τῆι Ὁμήρου πεφύκασιν· Ἑλληνικὸν δὲ τὸ σχῆμά ἐστι τῶι Ὀρφεῖ, καὶ οὔτε ἡ ἐσθὴς οὔτε ἐπίθημά ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆι κεφαλῆι Θράικιον.
If one looks again at the bottom of the painting, immediately after Patroclus, Orpheus is represented, as if sitting on a hill, and he has in his left hand a kithara and with the other hand he touches a willow tree. {It is the branches that he is touching and he is leaning against the tree.} But the grove seems to be that of Persephone, where, according to Homer, poplar trees and willows grow. Orpheus’ appearance is Greek, and neither his clothing nor the hat on his head are Thracian.
