The sculpture portrays a child in a relaxed stance, one hand in their overalls pocket while the other holds an umbrella above their head. The child is barefoot, standing on a rock-like base. The sculpture is made of a material resembling smooth stone or marble in shades of gray. There is a gold-colored ornament on top of the umbrella. The child's face is slightly upturned, and the details of the overalls and base are intricately carved to add texture and realism.
