The image shows a full-length view of a figurine representing a person. The figurine is standing upright, with arms bent at the elbows, holding a closed umbrella in one hand. The face of the figurine features small eyes and a small mouth with subtle details, and the hair is styled in fringed bangs framing the face. The figurine is dressed in a historical-looking gown with puffed sleeves and a flared skirt, entirely crafted from straw. A bonnet with a pleated crown adorned with a bow sits atop the head, and a large bow is tied at the back of the waist. The scene has a plain background.
