A painters palette and paint brushes are also depicted and included on the sculptures large base at the foot of Velázquez atop the horse. The sculpture appears to be a green color due to the oxidization of the bronze over time. The back of Sycamore Hall and large green trees are visible in the background. The sculpture is surrounded by two bushes with bright pink cherry blossoms. The plaque situated on the base of the sculpture reads "Equestrian Portrait of Diego Velázquez, Constance Whitney Warren, Gift of the Harlan Crow Family."
