A bust of Franz Joseph I stands facing the viewer on a high plinth. It wears the Toisornat, the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece and a star on the chest.

Austria, on the left, dressed in a gown, with a crown and oak leaves in her hair, holds a large laurel wreath. Vindobona, on the right, in an antique-style gown with a bracelet, veil and laurel wreath, holds a tablet with the inscription 1848 – 2 DEC∙ 1898 in both hands, as well as a stylus in her right hand. At the bottom, right, the signature A SCHARFF [AS ligated].
