The sculpture is a bust of a mature man with distinct facial features such as a stern expression, a thick moustache, and wavy hair. The figure is draped in a toga-like garment with a classical aesthetic. Crafted from smooth, white marble, the sculpture sits on a square pedestal base. The details, including the fabric texture and facial lines, are crisply defined. The life-sized bust gives a direct presence to the viewer, almost confrontational in its gaze.
