The sculpture depicts a bust of a man in 18th-century attire. He wears a cravat, a jacket with buttons, and a decoration on his chest. The figure is carved from white marble, showing detailed fabric folds and a serene expression. The man looks slightly upward and to the viewer's right. The marble gives the sculpture a polished and realistic look. The bust sits on a round marble pedestal.
