The sculpture depicts a young woman in a richly decorated costume and headdress. The face, neck and hair are made of pale marble, while the clothing and headdress are of gilt bronze. The smooth stone surface contrasts with the relief decoration of the costume, embellished with fringe and ornament. The dark base emphasizes the pale tone of the face and the warm hue of the metal. The combination of a portrait image with an elaborately worked costume is characteristic of salon sculpture of the early 20th century.
