The sculpture is executed in a realistic style, capturing detailed facial characteristics such as the deep lines of the forehead and the specific contours of the features. The work is mounted on an integral black rectangular plinth. The lower reverse of the cast is marked with the literal transcription AUSTIN PROD INC © 1979 and includes an incised signature reading FISHER.
