The sculpture shown is a finely crafted bronze figure depicting a female form in a dynamic, almost striding movement. The woman leans slightly forward, giving the impression that she is in the midst of a hunting scene or tracking an animal. Her body is only partially covered by a loosely draped garment that appears to be caught by the wind, falling across her shoulders and hips and further emphasizing the sense of motion. The anatomy is rendered softly yet realistically, with an elegant contouring that is characteristic of decorative bronzes from the late 19th to early 20th century. Her facial expression is calm and focused, while her gaze is directed slightly to the side, lending the figure a sense of narrative depth. In her hair, she wears a small crescent-shaped element, which may suggest a mythological significance.

In her right hand, the figure holds a long spear or hunting staff, underscoring her role as a huntress. Beside her stands a dog—likely a hunting dog—attentive at her side and complementing the scene. Both figures are positioned on an irregularly shaped bronze base, which in turn is mounted on a pedestal made of light-colored stone, possibly onyx or marble. This combination of bronze and stone is typical of decorative sculptures from the Art Deco period and the late Historicist style.

In terms of subject matter, the depiction can very likely be associated with the mythological figure of Diana (or Artemis in Greek mythology), the goddess of the hunt. Attributes such as the spear, the dog, and the partially revealed, wind-swept garment are classic elements of this representation. Comparable sculptures often portray Diana accompanied by a dog in an active, nature-oriented pose. Such depictions have a long tradition dating back to antiquity, as seen for example in the famous bronze “Artemis and the Stag,” which likewise presents the goddess in a hunting-related stance.
