The sculpture depicts a bust of a woman with flowing, curly hair styled elegantly back and cascading over her shoulders. The subject has a serene expression, with her gaze directed slightly to the side. The sculpture is rendered in a material that resembles terracotta, showcasing a warm, earthy color. Draped across her shoulders is a richly detailed cloth, sculpted to give the appearance of soft folds and layers. The sculpture is set upon a simple, classic pedestal. The craftsmanship captures a sense of grace and timeless elegance.
