    A young girl in a bonnet is shown with her head slightly raised and turned to the side. The face and neck are made of pale Carrara marble, whose smooth surface softly conveys the facial features. The bronze details of the clothing and bonnet are worked in higher relief and contrast with the marble in color and texture. The Siena marble base, with its characteristic warm veining, completes the combination of materials.
