The sculpture depicts a bearded male figure, identified as a satyr or faun, who is part human and part goat, as indicated by his goat-like legs and hooves. He is in a kneeling position, holding a much smaller human figure in his left hand, raised towards his face. The overall color of the sculpture is a dark, metallic bronze. The sculpture has a lifelike quality due to its detailed depiction of muscles and textured hair, giving the figure a dynamic pose, and it is displayed on a simple, neutral-colored rectangular base.
