Art Deco white marble sculpture after Pugi. It depicts a seated nude woman in a sensual pose. Her short, curly hair, in the style of the Roaring Twenties, is styled with a headband featuring a crescent moon. This may be a representation of the goddess Diana, whose attribute this is. The figure rests on a black Portoro marble base with brown veining and is engraved with Pugi's name.

Guglielmo Pugi (Fiesole, 1850-1915) was an Italian sculptor who lived in Florence from 1870 to 1915. He designed the Monument to King Umberto I in the main square of his native Fiesole. Several of his sculptures are exhibited in the Historical Alabaster Museum in Volterra, Italy.
