Summary:
Full-length figure of a young woman seated on a draped chair. She rests her head on her upraised proper right arm; her proper right hand holds a flower which is part of a garland that starts at her neck, winds down to cross her proper right leg and continues to the back of the sculpture. Her hair is drawn up and held in place with bands that wind about her head. The back of her chair is carved in low-relief with Renaissance style ornamentation. The chair has fringe around the bottom edges. The marble sculpture stands on a low concrete base.
