The sculpture depicts a figure in a dynamic pose. One leg is lifted high with the foot pointed forward, the arms are bent at the elbows, and both hands are positioned differently - one pointed downwards and the other upwards. It portrays a dancer caught in mid-motion. The figure is sculpted in a dark brown color, and the material appears to be bronze, giving the subject a polished, metallic sheen. The sculpture is mounted on a simple rectangular base, providing a foundation to keep it upright. A metal rod provides additional support to the figure, attaching from the base to the torso. The detail in the sculpture captures the muscularity and movement of the dancer, highlighting the contours and tensions of the body's form.
