The face and hands are carved in box wood.

The pedestal is made of plywood and has mouldings. It's painted in pearl grey and decorated with flowers and knot realized with oil painting on the front and sides.

The hair is made of pearl grey cotton. The hairdress consists of feathers, flowers and ribbons.

The dress is realized with blue material decorated with embroideries made by hand in golden and silvered threads. It has several pieces of Valenciennes bobbin lace. This lace, particularly long to realize, was very appreciate by the nobility in this time.
