A
sculpture with 5.40 m height made of white Ural marble is placed on a triple-stepped
gray basalt pedestal. In the left corner of the lower part of the pedestal,
there is a 1.5 x 1.5 m granite slab with the image of eternity, in which is
engraved M. Saryan’s autograph (gilt brass). The name of the artist
is engraved in the Russian language in the right corner of the middle step. In
the sculpture, Saryan is sitting in a majestic position, holding a palette in
his hand.
The
white marble creates a soft colour
harmony with the green of the park, emphasizing a solemn and pathetic
nature of the sculpture.
