The sculpture depicts a male figure seated on a rock, engaged in extracting a thorn from his foot. The figure is hunched over, showing concentration on the task. The sculpture is made from a dark material, possibly bronze, and captures fine muscular details and the texture of the man's hair. The musculature is rendered realistically to appreciate anatomical accuracy and the human form. The sculpture is mounted on a light-colored, fabric-covered rectangular base to contrast and enhance visibility.
