The nude female dancer is depicted with a snake that she holds in her arms raised above her head. The smooth curve of her torso and the turn of her head make the silhouette plastic and expressive. The soft modeling of the body is combined with a more relief rendering of the hair and the snake. The golden patina emphasizes the modeling of the form and the texture of the bronze surface. The dark rectangular pedestal completes the vertically elongated composition.
