The sculpture depicts a woman dressed in a flowing dress with a voluminous skirt. The color palette includes a blue skirt, a mustard-yellow waistband, and a pinkish-red top. Her hair is styled intricately, and her skin is pale. The sculpture appears to be made from wood and shows slight weathering. The figure appears to be in motion, leaning slightly forward. The subject faces an angle, allowing for appreciation of the detailing in her attire and hair.
