Cast in bronze, this freestanding sculpture shows the head and neck of a man with wavy hair and a deeply lined face. His thick hair appears brushed back from a high forehead. His brows are gathered, his cheeks hollow, and he has a square jawline. The bust stops just below the neck, and the sculpture sits on a maroon-red stone base streaked with white and black.
