The sculpture is a bust of a young boy with short hair styled to the side, wearing a garment with a broad collar resembling a sailor's outfit. The material appears to be plaster or a stone-like substance, with a color of off-white or light gray. The surface is smooth with some visible marks and rough areas, particularly along the edges. The boy's expression is neutral, with defined facial features such as eyes, a straight nose, and closed lips. The size of the sculpture is life-sized or slightly smaller, depicting the boy's head and shoulders in realistic proportions.
