The sculpture depicts a small figure of a man dressed in early 20th-century attire. He is shown wearing a white hat and a red jacket over a white outfit, including white trousers and black shoes. The sculpture is anchored on an oval-shaped base, and the entire piece appears to be painted in realistic colors to match human skin tones and clothing. The man is positioned with one arm bent at the elbow and the other extended in front of him. The material of the sculpture may be ceramic or a similar substance with glossy paint. The detailing in the clothing and facial expression is quite intricate, giving the sculpture a lifelike appearance.
