The model is supported on a square straight-sided base with a moulding round the top edge. The glazed underside has canted sides and a flat centre with a central circular ventilation hole. Apollo stands beside a pile of books on a small almost circular mound with scrolls at the front. His weight is on his right foot and his left knee is relaxed. He faces towards the viewer holding a lyre in his left hand and placing his right hand over the strings. He has a pink complexion, eyes and brows outlined in black, and long grey hair. He wears a blue wreath on his head  and has a lilac and blue mantle which is draped around his body leaving the upper torso and his right leg bare. The lyre is reddish-brown with black strings, three books are blue and one reddish-brown, and the scrolls on the mound are blue, green, and purple.
