The sculpture depicts a small child sitting with one knee raised and the other folded beneath, engaging with a bird perched nearby. The child is looking upwards with a serene expression, with styled short hair. The sculpture is made of bronze, with a shiny, smooth surface and dark brown color with hints of green patina. It has a rich, textured surface, particularly noticeable on the body and base. The sculpture is small enough to be a tabletop decorative piece, similar in size to a small figurine.
