The shallow, square base is deeper at the front than at the back. The actress stands with her right hand resting on her chest, and her left arm bent at the elbow and extended towards the front. She wears a headdress which curves upwards at the back and has a veil hanging down to waist level. She wears a chemise under a fitted bodice, a skirt with three tiers, trousers, slippers, and a long, fur-lined coat which is open at the front, and has furred edgings to the pocket slits at the back.
