The sculpture depicts a scene with four figures. The central figure is Earl Howe, standing confidently with one arm on his hip and the other holding a cape. He is dressed in a naval uniform. Seated beside him is a female figure in classical attire, possibly representing Britannia, holding a trident. On either side of these figures are two other female figures in flowing gowns. One is reaching upwards, and the other is seated and gazing outward. Maritime elements like a ship's prow and a lion are included, symbolizing naval power. The sculpture is illustrated in monochrome, possibly crafted from a stone-like material. The depiction is detailed with intricate folds in clothing and defined facial features, giving the sculpture a classical and regal aura.

The sculpture depicts a group of figures. A central female figure is semi-reclining with her head gently tilted upwards. Surrounding her are several other figures, including cherubic children who appear to interact with the central figure, as well as other adult figures, some with wings. The figures are intricately arranged and entwined. The sculpture has a monochrome appearance, commonly associated with marble material, highlighting intricate details and contours. The artwork appears as a relief, with three-dimensional elements emerging from a flat background, allowing light to accentuate depth and form against the surface.

In front of the bust is a rectangular stone-like surface with the word "BACON" inscribed on it, accompanied by items resembling scientific instruments on either side. The background consists of shaded, cloudy textures creating a contrast with the figure. The person is not wearing any jewelry, and the scene conveys a classical, engraved portrait style.
