The sculpture depicts Mark Twain in a seated position, holding a pipe to his lips. He is portrayed in a relaxed posture with curly hair and wearing a suit. Two smaller figures below him are identified as "Tom" and "Huck." The sculpture is crafted from bronze with a brown metallic appearance. The upper part features Twain's likeness, while the lower part includes the two figures and an inscription that reads, "ALWAYS DO RIGHT. THIS WILL GRATIFY SOME PEOPLE AND ASTONISH THE REST." The sculpture emphasizes attention to detail in the features and significant literary elements. The material gives it a tactile quality and a natural texture.
