“Young woman wearing a tricorn," dressed in original attire: tricorn on her head, white blouse, red jacket interwoven with raised gold threads, red and gold foulard scarf tied in the middle, mauve shorts, stockings with decorative golden patterns, red and gold shoes; the figure is resting on a black stand. The woman's elbows are covered by a painted leather band, two metal rods come out of the back of her thighs, and one rod from her neck, thus making it possible to attach the head. At the base of the head there is an iron rod and a hole. The internal mechanism can be accessed through an opening in the back.
