A silver-toned sculpted bust of a man's head, with swept-back hair and a serene expression, is held up in the right hand of a person in the foreground. To the left, a partially visible man with a shaved head and light marks on his forehead looks toward the object. A blurred peach-coloured wall and a red panel form the background. The bust is a depiction, not a physical person, and the scene appears to be an indoor gathering or talk.
