The sculpture is a bust depicting a man with a thick mustache and neatly combed hair. The material of the sculpture appears to be marble, evident by its smooth, polished surface and off-white color with veining. The sculpture captures the man's facial features in detail, with a focused expression. The bust's shoulders lead down to a flat, unfinished base, indicating that it is intended as a representation of the upper torso and head. The detailing in the features lends the sculpture a lifelike appearance, providing a strong likeness of the subject.
