He is dressed in a military uniform that includes an intricately detailed coat adorned with large buttons and epaulettes on the shoulders. The sculpture features a high collar and a cravat. The material of the sculpture appears to be a lighter shade, likely a cream or off-white. The surface has a smooth finish, with precise detailing on the facial features and clothing.
