    The figure of a dancer is located on a stepped base of veined onyx, dressed in a stage costume; her head is adorned with a decorative helmet-crown. The girl is captured in a dynamic pose: her body is slightly curved, and her head is gracefully tilted toward her shoulder. The right hand of the performer is extended to the side, while the left holds the hem of the dress. The sculpture is executed in patinated bronze, while the face, neck, and hands are made of ivory.
