The standing figure has a weight on her right foot and a downcast, pensive expression. Her long curling hair is parted centrally and falls down her back. She wears an underrobe of pale blue, with loose-fitting bloused bodice that has a deep band of decoration at the neck. The dress is fastened at the waist with a belt or girdle. Over this is a red mantel, held in place on shoulder with two clasps.
