The sculpture depicts a nude human figure standing with legs crossed and playing a stringed musical instrument resembling a lute. The figure has curly hair and is crafted in an elegant pose, focusing on the instrument. It is made of bronze, giving it a dark, metallic sheen. The texture of the bronze provides a smooth surface with visible detailing in the hair and facial features. The expression and posture suggest engagement with the music being played, adding a sense of dynamic motion to the still form. The sculpture stands on a round base, elevating the figure slightly above the surface.
