The image displays a blue miniature model of the Statue of Liberty with the word "LIBERTY" in yellow embossed at the base. The model is primarily painted in shades of blue with hints of yellow and brown accents for the details, such as the windows and the torch. Positioned centrally on a plain, off-white background, the statue stands upright, with its base slightly tilted toward the viewer. The artist's signature, "w.o. Fletcher," is written in the lower right corner.
