    The full-length figure of a young woman is located on a stepped cubic onyx pedestal with a brown-beige pattern, complemented by side rounded elements in the form of a semi-circular arch. She is captured in a relaxed pose, with her head slightly tilted toward her left shoulder. With her hands, the girl holds a light flowing drapery of cloth that softly frames her figure from behind, leaving the body completely nude.
