The bust depicts a girl with a round, rather chubby face, turned slightly to the right; a rounded, elongated chin, and small, slightly pursed lips with a pronounced, wavy line of the upper lip. The almond-shaped, smooth eyes are rather shallowly set, with marked upper eyelids and barely visible eyebrows. The ears are carefully styled. The wavy hair is combed up and tied with a headband. At the back of the head, the hair is tied in a bun and a braid that falls down the middle of the head onto the smooth forehead.
