The main subject is a colossal sculpture of a soldier's head and torso, depicted as emerging from the ruins of the fortress. The sculpture is carved from granite and is a dark, somber gray. In the foreground, an eternal flame burns brightly in a memorial pool, casting an orange glow. Several wreaths and bouquets of red flowers are placed around the flame and along the edge of the memorial. The sky above is a gradient of pale blue, transitioning to a soft orange near the horizon, indicating the setting sun. The overall atmosphere is solemn and memorial.
