The sculpture depicts a figure dressed as a jockey. The subject wears a green jacket with gold buttons, white breeches with red accents, black boots, and a red cap. It stands upright with one hand on its hip and the other arm extended forward, holding a circular object. The sculpture is made of a metal-like material, with a bronze tone for the skin and detailed multicolored attire. It stands on a square base with ornate detailing, capturing the essence of a traditional jockey from past eras.
