This plaster portrait bust of Benjamin Franklin presents the diplomat wearing an open coat and a loosely tied cravat. His face is highly modeled, and the diplomat’s age is apparent in his wrinkled jowls and creased forehead. The bust is situated in such a way as to lean forward, and this orientation makes it appear that Franklin is gazing down (rather than straight out) at the viewer. His eyes have been carefully detailed with pupils and irises, and his long hair falls easily over his ears. Screwed into the front of the pedestal is an engraved brass plaque: "BENJAMIN FRANKLIN / 1708-1790".
