The figure of a dancer is located on a stepped pedestal of red veined marble, dressed in a stage costume. The girl is captured in a dynamic pose: her body is slightly tilted forward, her hands rest on her hips, and her legs are crossed in an elegant dance step. The multi-layered skirt has a pronounced horizontal line with imitation pleating that seems to fly up during movement. The outfit consists of a form-fitting top with a triangular neckline, complemented along the décolleté and sleeves by decorative elements imitating embroidery. The character's head is crowned with a tight cloche hat, and shoes with a low heel are worn on her feet. The face, neck, hands, and exposed part of the abdomen are executed in ivory, while the clothing and headpiece are made of patinated bronze.
