The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a profile portrait of a bearded elderly man wearing a broad-brimmed hat. The subject appears slightly haggard or introspective, with defined facial features such as a prominent nose and furrowed brow. The sculpture is crafted from a bronze-colored metal, which gives it an antique and weathered appearance with highlights and patina accentuating the details. The medallion provides a detailed close-up view of the man's side profile, allowing us to observe the craftsmanship and detailing in the lines and texture of the metal. The outer edge of the medallion is inscribed with text, creating a border around the portrait.
