The sculpture features a figure in 19th-century military attire, including a bicorn hat and a long coat. The color scheme consists of blues and grays, with lighter shades for the pants and darker hues for the coat. The material appears to be wood, as seen in the grain patterns and natural coloring on the base. It is placed on a round pedestal. The sculpture is roughly life-size and shows the figure standing with one hand inside the vest, a common pose in historical military portraits.
