The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a woman dressed in a period costume. She is wearing a garment with a blue skirt and a reddish-brown top. Her outfit includes a headpiece that is pale in color, possibly a bonnet, and she is adorned with accessories such as earrings. Her right hand is raised and bent at the elbow, while her left arm is extended in front of her body. The sculpture is depicted in colors of soft blues, browns, and natural skin tones. It appears to be made of a material that can be painted, such as plaster or wood, given the matte surface and detailed expression. The figure is standing on a plain rectangular base, which elevates her slightly off the ground.
