The sculpture portrays a soldier standing on a round base resembling a drum. The soldier wears a dark uniform with a coat, pants, knee-high boots, and a hat. He holds a curved sword in his right hand while his left arm hangs by his side. The soldier's face is neutral, and the sculpture shows attention to detail in the military attire, such as buttons and lapels. The colors used are dark blue for the coat, brown for the pants, and a lighter shade for the face and hands. The material appears to be wood painted with muted colors. The soldier is depicted in a smaller than life-size scale with an assertive and formal pose.
