The composition depicts an elegant female figure in profile, wearing a hat and a dress with geometric lines, framed by an octagonal structure and flanked by two stylized columns. The pose, the attire, and the refined features fully embody the feminine ideal of the 1920s.

The marquetry combines woods of different shades with light and dark inlays, creating hallmarks that define the face, the dress, and the architectural elements. The flowers, the staggered motifs, and the rigorous symmetry place the piece within the ornamental language of Art Deco, characterized by figurative stylization and a preference for geometric compositions.
