- The monument features an equestrian statue of General Faidherbe in parade dress, holding a sabre in his hand. At his feet, an allegory of the city of Lille, a woman wearing crown, cuirass and long coat, looks at him with admiration and indicates with her left hand to an allegory of History the hero's exploits to be recorded in a book placed on her lap. At the back of the monument, a second female allegory, representing the cities of the North, hands Faidherbe a laurel wreath. On the sides of the pedestal, two bas-reliefs depict the Battle of Pont-Noyelles (December 24, 1870) on the right, and the Battle of Bapaume (January 3, 1871) on the left.
