The sculpture is a bust portraying a human figure, focusing predominantly on the head and upper torso. It features an abstracted and textured representation with exaggerated facial features, such as a prominent nose and heavy eyelids. The subject appears to be an older individual with a sense of ruggedness and depth in their countenance. The sculpture is made of a dark-colored material, possibly bronze, which has an uneven surface texture. The material has highlights that suggest a patina, providing depth. The clothing portrayed is simplistic with a suggestion of a collared shirt made evident through rough yet defined lines. Overall, the sculpture is life-sized in relation to a human being and appears solid and heavy due to the material and style.
