This bronze bust depicts a bearded gentleman wearing a plumed beret and a fur-trimmed doublet. The subject's facial features are sharply defined, with a strong brow, curled mustache, and expressive gaze. His long, wavy hair cascades over his shoulders, accentuating the elaborate detailing of the sculpted locks. The piece is mounted on a polished wooden base, providing a stable foundation for display.

The clothing and accessories are intricately rendered, with textural contrasts between the smooth bronze of the skin, the fur collar, and the fabric of the doublet. A decorative collar with individually defined elements adorns the neckline, incorporating subtle polychrome accents that enhance the richness of the composition. The beret features a folded brim with a slightly asymmetrical shape, adding a dynamic element to the portrait.

This bust reflects the 20th-century European tradition of Renaissance revival sculpture, where artists sought to evoke historical grandeur through detailed bronze casting techniques. The combination of high-relief sculpting and refined surface patination aligns with the period's emphasis on historical portraiture. The choice of subject matter, attire, and execution suggests an interpretation of a nobleman or military figure from the Renaissance era.
