The sculpture features a small soldier figure in uniform with a cap and rifle poised to fire. The soldier and a tree stump are made of what appears to be bronze or dark metal with slight variations in color suggesting texture. The soldier faces the tree stump on an elongated base. The sculpture is placed on a textured platform, emphasizing the soldier's stance and details of the uniform and tree stump. It is mounted on a flat base for stability on display.
