The sculpture features a male figure with one arm on his head and the other holding grapes, accompanied by a small animal. The figure wears a garment with a goat's head motif and the sculpture is made of a dark brown material, likely bronze. The animal's fur is detailed, and the sculpture stands on a textured base.
