The sculpture is a classical-style figure resembling ancient Greek statues like the Venus de Milo. The figure is draped in flowing garments, with detailed fabric folds and a face turned slightly to the side. The monochromatic sculpture is in shades of gray and black, giving the impression of a pencil sketch or engraving. It is on a pedestal, surrounded by onlookers sketched in a smaller, condensed manner. The crowd includes detailed faces, hats, and coats, suggesting a period style. The setting appears to be a public exhibition or gallery display.
