The monument consists of an equestrian statue of the Countess of Barcelona dressed as a horsewoman. The sculpture is made of bronze and stands on a circular marble pedestal with the following inscription: "Seville to HRH the Illustrious Countess of Barcelona, Lady of the Real Maestranza de Sevilla and holder of the medal of the city".
