The sculpture depicts a baby's head in profile, focusing on the right side. It appears to be made of dark bronze or copper with a smooth surface and subtle textures. The baby's features like the cheeks, chin, and ear are emphasized. The baby is draped in fabric, indicated in the lower part of the relief. The sculpture conveys the innocence and softness of an infant, and its size suggests it is meant to be viewed up close.
