The sculpture is a realistic bust of a man with a mustache and neatly combed hair. The face is painted in a light flesh tone while the hair and mustache are dark. The man wears a formal suit with a jacket and a vest in dark hues, and is tied with a cravat or tie. The eyes contrast with the muted colors of the sculpture. The material appears to be painted plaster or stone. The subject is set against a plain background.
