The face of this bust of a girl is soft, idealized, with fine and serene features. The eyes look slightly to one side, conveying a contemplative air. The hair is worked in detail, gathered back in an elegant and wavy hairstyle. The work follows the academicist and romantic taste of the 19th century, seeking idealized feminine grace, with a polished finish and refined modeling.
