The sculpture is a circular medal with a profile portrait of Nicolas Poussin, a French painter. The portrait is in relief, showing Poussin with medium-length, curly hair and a mustache, facing right. The medal is a brownish color, suggesting it is made from bronze or a similar material. Around the edge of the medal, the raised lettering reads "NICOLAS POUSSIN" and "PEINTRE FRANÇAIS." The surface of the medal reveals intricate details in the hair and facial features.
