The sculpture depicts a figure of a jockey dressed in traditional attire. The subject stands upright on a rectangular base with one hand on the hip and the other hand raised, gesturing as if holding something. The jockey is wearing a helmet and a fitted jacket in a deep red color, paired with light-colored jodhpurs and dark brown knee-high boots. The sculpture is made of a material resembling bronze, indicated by the dark metallic tones visible throughout the figure. The craftsmanship captures a realistic proportion and stance, relatable in scale and detail to a human figure.
