    The relaxed seated pose is built on a contrast between closed and elongated lines: one leg is drawn to the chest and embraced by the arms, while the other hangs freely. The entire figure is ivory, with smooth polishing and detailed hair. The strict geometry of the tall green-onyx base contrasts with the natural pose.
