The figure of a dancer is located on a low, oval pedestal of light ocher-toned onyx, executed in patinated bronze, dressed in a long dress with a pleated skirt and a tight-fitting headpiece transitioning into a massive necklace with beaded trim, flowing onto her shoulders like a cape. The dancer stands on her toes with her legs spread wide and her arms extended to the sides. The face, hands, and legs are executed in ivory.
