The sculpture is of a seated woman in a niche within a stone wall. The woman is in a crouched posture, with one leg drawn up on a plinth and her arm resting on her knee. The sculpture is made from a smooth, possibly stone or marble material, and is monochromatic. It is at human height, making it relatable and approachable to viewers. The sculpture is positioned within an arched recess carved out of a stone structure, creating a harmonious connection with the human scale of its environment.
