The sculpture depicts a male figure dressed in a red jacket, cap, and bowtie, blue pants and black shoes. It is made from a material that resembles painted metal or heavy cast iron, as suggested by the solid appearance and glossy finish of the paint. The figure stands on a dark, rectangular base. The man is shown in a dynamic pose, with one hand behind his back and the other extended forward holding a ring. The sculpture is positioned to suggest a life-size or slightly smaller representation relative to humans.
