The base or plinth appears to be marble, and possibly the dress as well. The head is definitely alabaster.

This sculpture measures about 15 inches high, 12 3/4 wide, 7 1/4 deep. In nearly perfect condition, with a couple of truly tiny "flea bites" to one edge of the subject's dress, in front on the left, and on the marble plinth on a corner. less
