The sculpture depicts the bust of an older man with a furrowed brow, deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a pronounced chin. The piece is sculpted in a rough, textured style. The color of the sculpture is dark bronze with subtle variations. The material appears to be cast in bronze, characterized by a dull sheen and small hints of patina on the surface. The bust is portrayed from the chest upwards, with a rugged appearance that suggests a sense of weight and solidity, emphasizing the man’s features with bold strokes and deep grooves.
