The sculpture portrays a mesmerizing dancer, her head gently tilted, back gracefully arched, and dress hems held aloft in midair. The bronze pleats seem to hang in suspended animation, frozen in time.

Her dress, adorned with a patinated green bodice, boasts intricate embroidered flowers, vertical stripes, ruffled short sleeves, and a turtleneck. A brown embroidered sash elegantly drapes low on her waist, cascading over the pleats of her dress.

The dancer's face, captured in a moment of pure emotion, is framed by her short hair and head wrap, as she stands gracefully on a black metal base, attached to greenish marble with a striking reddish-brown veined pattern. less
