Still life of a wooden sculpture carved to represent a nude female figure. The sculpture stands on a wooden block base, facing square to the camera; the figure's knees are bent, with arms drawn in toward its chest. The belly button protrudes, and the chest features breasts; the eyes and mouth are narrow.
