He is wearing a suit jacket with a vest and a buttoned shirt underneath. The bust is cylindrical at the bottom and flares out at the top to accommodate the head and wreath. The background is dark gray at the top and light gray at the bottom, with a shadow cast by the bust to the right. The title of the piece is "Spill Vase" and it is by an unknown artist.
