The sculpture in tender represents a woman of delicate and slender forms that stands in the center of the pedestal, covered by a vaporous dress, decorated with floral motifs, which reveals her anatomy and is cut at the height of the thighs. The delicate floating and undulating forms of the sculpture could well recall the Modernism or Art Nouveau movement, which had in nature and popular mythology, populated by fairies, elves and nymphs, two of its main sources of inspiration.
