The sculpture depicts a man in traditional 17th-century clothing, including a tricorn hat, long overcoat, waistcoat, breeches, and stockings. He holds a rolled document in his right hand. The material appears to be wood, polished to a dark brown color. The figure stands upright on a rectangular base, detailed in clothing and facial features. The sculpture is life-sized, with a firm stance and stoic expression, showcasing detailed facial hair and hair curls under the hat.
