The sculpture shows a jockey standing upright with one arm extended. He is wearing a green jacket, brown trousers, black boots, red cuffs on the jacket, and red accents around the knees. A red cap is on his head. The sculpture is made of a painted material, possibly wood or a similar medium. The jockey stands on a rectangular green base with ornamental designs. The figure is life-sized, with realistic proportions and detailing.
