The sculpture depicts a woman seated on the ground, clothed in flowing drapery, with two young children or cherubs. One child is held on her lap, while the other stands to the side, reaching up towards the woman. The background shows an architectural arch. The medium of the sculpture appears to be metallic, likely bronze. The relief sculpture creates a three-dimensional effect, allowing the viewer to perceive contours and details such as the folds of the clothing, the hair, and the interactions among the figures.
