The sculpture depicts a young boy in a walking pose. He is dressed in a historical or possibly military style, wearing a long coat with intricate detailing, tight-fitting pants, and a helmet with a crest on top. The color of the sculpture is a mix of muted earth tones, predominantly in shades of brown and ochre, with hints of blue and grey. The material appears to be wood, with a visible texture and finish. The boy's face is detailed with a neutral expression, and his posture is confident with his hands inserted in the pockets of his coat. A supporting bracket extends from the back of the sculpture to a flat surface, suggesting it is designed for wall mounting or display.
