Sculptural composition with the image of Peter the Great standing at the stern, surrounded by waves is mounted on rectangular marble pedestal revetted with malachite. The tsar is shown in a 3/4 turn to the right, legs wide apart, in short fur coat, camisole, over the knee boots; with bandage and sword at the waist. His left hand is extended forward, his right one is pulled back. The composition was created on the basis of the painting "Peter the Great in the boat caught by a storm on Lake Ladoga" by artist Charles de Steuben (1812).
