The sculpture depicts a full-length figure of a man dressed in 18th-century attire, including a long coat, waistcoat, knickerbockers, and stockings. He stands with one hand inside his coat and holds a document or tablet in the other hand, inscribed with text. The figure exudes formality and posture suggestive of a historical personality. The sculpture is made of bronze with a dark brown color and green patina, indicating age and weathering. It is presented upright on a rectangular base with the word "JEFFERSON." The figure is identified as Thomas Jefferson, an important historical figure. The size of the sculpture suggests it's a small-scale work for tabletop or close viewing within an exhibit space.
