The sculpture is a relief depicting a seated figure in profile engaged in sewing or knitting, with their head bent forward. The figure wears a flowing garment and sits on a chair. Next to them is an oval table in front. The circular sculpture is made from a bronze-like material with a patina finish, giving it a greenish-brown color. The surface is textured with marks and indentations, set against a flat backing.
