Rather than modelling the head from clay as was the norm, Fergusson achieved clarity of line by incising directly into the plaster. This gives the sculpture a modernist edge, enhanced later by casting the work in brass. The pared-down treatment of form was paralleled by greater geometry in Fergusson's paintings.
