The sculpture depicts a figure standing on a square base, dressed in draped clothing that falls to mid-calf. The figure appears to be a male with short, curly hair and a beard, holding an object resembling a scroll or small tablet in his right hand. The sculpture is rendered in shades of gray, suggesting a material like stone. The style indicates a classical or historical representation, with the figure positioned facing slightly to the left from the viewer's perspective. The sculpture has attention to detailed folds of the clothing and the subject's facial features, giving it a realistic and lifelike quality.
