The hoop frames the figure: a broad arc rises behind the girl as she lightly touches the metal with both hands. Crossed stepping legs and a slight body tilt suggest slow movement. The nude body is ivory; the thin dark hoop contrasts with the pale carving, while red-brown marble with white veining adds a strong color accent.
