The sculpture depicts a young ballet dancer in an arabesque pose. One leg is extended straight back, one arm is stretched forward, and the other arm hangs by her side. The dancer stands on one leg supported by a metal rod. The sculpture is made of bronze, giving it a dark brown and slightly lustrous appearance that captures the intricate details of the dancer's form and movement. It rests on a textured, rough base and is supported by a wooden platform.
