The sculpture depicts the bust of an elderly man, capturing his head and shoulders. It is made of a dark, bronze-like material with a textured, rugged surface. The colors are predominantly dark brown with lighter highlights. The figure shows detailed facial features, including a prominent nose and deep eye sockets. The man's hair and clothing are roughly rendered, enhancing the textured appearance. The drapery of the clothing is suggested through carved lines, adding depth and movement. The overall appearance of the sculpture gives the impression of a robust and weathered character.
