The model is set on an oval 'ground' base with smooth plinth. Three Cossacks, mounted on sturdy and hardy steeds, have come to a halt on the bank of a small stream. In the center of the composition is an elderly Cossack. His posture is relaxed, with a rifle and a peaked cap resting on his knees. He is smoking a small pipe, calmly watching the younger Cossacks as they animatedly discuss recent events.
