Bahlulzade is depicted looking at his favorite landscape, leaning on two empty picture frames. According to the art critic Samir Sadigov, the space, composition, dynamics and image in the sculpture complement each other. The frames, according to Sadigov, in addition to the spatial and aesthetic role, also play the role of an image. The frames are arranged in such a way that the viewer looking at the portrait, depending on the place, will see through them the village of Amirjan and the lake Bulbula from a new perspective.{{cite web|url=http://www.azyb.net/cgi-bin/jurn/main.cgi?id=1486|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204162001/http://www.azyb.net/cgi-bin/jurn/main.cgi?id=1486|archivedate=February 4, 2015|title=Azərbaycan heykəltəraşlığında Səttar Bəhlulzadə obrazı|author=Samir Sadıqov|date=2009|publisher=azyb.net|accessdate=April 4, 2022|language=az}}
