The sculpture portrays a woman in a dynamic pose, sitting with one knee raised and left hand raised. Her hair is intricately styled, drawing attention to her facial features and posture. The figure appears in motion, capturing fluidity. The sculpture is crafted from a dark material, likely bronze, mounted on a smooth pedestal of the same color. It is small in size, suitable for close viewing.
