The sculpture depicts a standing male figure dressed in period clothing. The figure has a commanding posture, with one hand holding a hat and the other resting on the hilt of a cane. The sculpture is made of white or light-colored material, such as marble or plaster, which contrasts with the blue background behind it. The details of the man's facial features and attire are finely carved, giving it a realistic appearance in terms of shape and texture. The pedestal on which the figure stands is integral to the sculpture and supports its vertical orientation.
