The man's head reclines slightly to the side, resting on one hand. His feet are adorned with ornate shoes, resting on a platform. The sculpture, made of a monochromatic material, appears to be set within an architectural alcove resembling an archway. In front of the figure, a plaque with engraved text completes the presentation.
