The standing figure is carved from wood and painted, depicting a young woman with a pale face, dark hair gathered into a bow, and a slight forward tilt of the head. She wears a green gown edged in gilt with geometric borders, its central bodice panel painted with pink roses on a cream ground, and she holds a folding fan in her lowered right hand. The back is hollowed, and there is paint loss across the face, forehead, and hairline consistent with age.
