This is a painting of a wooden artist's mannequin. The mannequin is centered on the canvas, standing upright with one arm slightly bent at the elbow. It appears articulated at the joints, with visible segmentation at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. The mannequin is rendered in a natural wood tone with minimal shading. Its head is small and shaped like a traditional wooden mannequin, but with subtle facial features drawn or painted on it. The background of the painting is a plain, off-white color.
