The sculpture depicts a reclining panther with its front paws extended, body slightly turned to one side. The panther's form is meticulously crafted with details like its head and body structure. The sculpture is made of dark bronze, giving it an aged patina with hints of greenish undertones. The panther exudes a sense of calm strength and lays on a rocky base engraved with the name "BARYE." The sculpture is small, meant for close viewing to appreciate its craftsmanship and representation of the animal's grace.
