The sculpture features a relief of a panther in a walking pose. The panther is depicted in profile with its muscular form highlighted against the flat background of the relief. The sculpture is made of a dark brown material. The surface has a glossy finish. The rectangular base beneath the panther anchors it visually within the relief box structure. The artist's signature "BARYE" and the year "1833" are inscribed on the lower right corner of the relief.
