The girl wears a draped peplos in shades of lilac and pastel blue, embellished with delicate hand-painted floral motifs that echo the relief appliques on the base.

The sculpture is distinguished by the grace of the pose and the attention to detail, from the gentle facial features to the curls gathered by a golden ribbon. The figurine rests on a circular base richly decorated with porcelain applique roses, pod motifs, and gold-highlighted scroll feet. The underglaze blue mark on the base attests to its provenance from a fine manufacturer, associated with the classical European style.
