The poodle reclines in profile to left on an elongated oval base with a rippled surface. It has a friendly expression and turns its head slightly towards the viewer. The curly hair on its head, ears and forequarters is brown, and the clipped area on its back and hind quarters has five distinct areas of denser brown.
