The work depicts the artist Augustus John in old age. Bearded, barefoot and dressed in simple clothes, the figure has a striding or lurching gait, his arms held outwards and hands clenched in a purposeful manner. The hands and head are heavily modelled, and the expression is one of driving, perhaps impatient, energy. The statue was moved in March 1999 to a site on the east banks of the River Avon.
