The sculpture is a bust depicting an elderly man with detailed facial features, including a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, and a strong, defined chin. The subject is wearing formal attire with a visible bow tie. The material is likely bronze, giving the sculpture a dark, metallic sheen with earthy brown tones enhanced by the natural patina of the metal. The finish is somewhat rough, with textured areas that add depth to the features and clothing, providing a lifelike presence when viewed. The bust is positioned to look directly at the viewer.
