The man is depicted with a neutral expression on his face. He has a small nose and mouth, and his eyes are represented by small holes. He wears a short, flat hat on his head. His arms are bent at the elbows, and he holds a rooster in front of him with both hands. The rooster's head is tucked under the man's left arm. The man's body is bare, with no clothing or adornments. He stands on two rounded feet. The background of the image is a plain gray color, with a shadow cast by the sculpture to the left.
