Dans cette "miniature" s'impose le plus grand art Lega, associant à l'épure des traits, la monumentalité de la sculpture. 

En écho à la courbe profonde dégageant au dos la poignée s'épanouit le visage au volume remarquable, inscrivant avec force les contours aigus de la face.


La superbe qualité de la sculpture, la forme des trous d'attache de la barbe et la très profonde patine du bois attestent sa grande ancienneté.
