The sculpture is a bust of a man with styled, short black hair, wearing an elegant blue coat with gold buttons and a white cravat-style neckpiece. The man's face and eyes are painted with light pink hues, and his arm is partially visible by his side. The sculpture is made of wood with a visible natural grain texture, especially on the lower unpainted part, giving it a dark wooden appearance.
