A seated, reddish-orange terracotta sculpture depicts a woman on a rectangular block, facing left. She tilts her head toward her lap, her hair gathered in a bun. She wears a short-sleeved dress that clings to her torso and drapes over her legs. Her right arm rests atop her right knee, while her left arm extends back, hand braced against the base. The sculpture features a grainy, matte surface with soft, worn facial features.
