The statue depicts a woman with short, curly hair wearing a necklace and a long dress. She stands on her left leg, with her right leg slightly bent behind her. Her right hand is raised to her chin, and her left hand is wrapped around her left arm. The dress drapes down to the ground, with folds of fabric around her waist and on the right side. The statue stands on a square base with the name "MEDEA" inscribed on the front edge. The woman's body faces slightly to the left, while her head is turned down and to the left. The statue appears to be made of white marble. The background is solid black.
