The sculpture shows the head of a man with wavy hair, a full beard, and mustache. It is made of bronze, giving it a dark metallic color with a slight sheen. The details highlight the texture of the hair and beard intricately. The man's expression includes slightly furrowed brows and closed lips. The bust is on a rectangular base.
