The sculpture depicts a reclining female figure with flowing drapery, delicately carved to suggest the folds and contours of the fabric. The figure has a serene expression on her face and curled hair, with her head slightly tilted. She is portrayed as partially draped, exposing one shoulder and part of her chest. The sculpture is carved in a light-colored stone or marble, giving it a smooth and polished appearance. The composition suggests that the figure is reclining, creating a sense of relaxed grace. The backdrop of the sculpture is flat, providing a contrast to the intricate details of the figure's attire and pose.
