The sculpture depicts a military figure or officer standing at attention with arms crossed. The uniform is cream-colored with red accents and gold buttons, paired with red pants and a matching red cap. Black boots ground the figure on a black rectangular base. The sculpture's posture is erect and formal, evoking the demeanor of a military officer. The style resembles that of a classic wooden soldier figure.
