The sculpture depicts a figure of a person in a standing pose with their torso bent forward. The figure is holding a segment of long hair that hangs toward the floor. It appears to be a female form. The sculpture is composed of a bronze-like material with a dark patina, featuring rich earth tones such as deep browns and touches of lighter highlights. The surface of the sculpture is irregular and textured, capturing intricate details in the skin and hair. The figure stands on a rectangular base designed to look like a wooden platform, with a thin rod subtly attached to the figure along the side. Overall, the sculpture occupies space with realistic human proportions and an intimate engagement with natural human gestures.
