    The pose resembles a stage snapshot: one hand is raised near the head, the other lowered, the torso curves and the legs remain close together in slight movement. A deep-red top, silver trim, short skirt and golden stockings create a theatrical palette. Ivory face and hands contrast with the metal costume, and a green-onyx base completes the composition.
