Bronze bust of William Gladstone. He is an older white man, slightly balding with sideburns. He looks forward with a serious expression. The torso is slightly oversized in comparison to the head. It is not clothed and any detail below the collarbones is smoothed over. The torso ends at the sternum area and does not include the shoulders at the side. Light reflects of Gladstone's wrinkled brow. The bust has no separate base and is set against a plain light blue background.
