Truth Unveiled by Time is a white marble sculpture that is 280 cm in height, which includes the 17 cm pedestal it rests upon. Seated on a boulder with dramatic, flowing drapes behind her, the maiden Truth holds a representation of the Sun in her right hand at shoulder level as she rests her left leg on the Earth. She gazes upward beyond the Sun with a look of peace and comfort, perhaps even joy. Truth has already been stripped of her garments. The strategically placed drapery of the statue is suggestive and not as blatant as truly profane scenes. Her bare chest and stomach are visible while her groin is covered by some of the flowing drapery. There is a sense of movement, emotion, and vigor in her being, and the cold marble appears to be as supple as real flesh. According to Bernini's biographer Baldinucci:"His chisel was applied in such a way that one could believe it had been cutting wax instead of marble."
