The sculpture depicts the figure of General George Rogers Clark dressed in historical attire atop a stone pedestal. The figure is in a dynamic posture, as if stepping forward and pointing into the distance. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze. The pedestal bears an inscription with the name General George Rogers Clark. It is located in an outdoor plaza with a view of a large river in the background, and two bridges crossing it. There is a tree and some low shrubs nearby.
