The figure, carved in richly veined dark stone, is rendered with rounded proportions that lend it both physical solidity and emotional warmth. He stands alone, but not apart. His stance suggests engagement rather than isolation: arms lifted, as if bracing against wind or reaching into the world. The face is expressive, gently alert, suggesting attention rather than confrontation. In this composition, solitude is not a deficit but a posture of attentiveness, a readiness to meet whatever lies ahead.
