The sculpture depicts multiple figures in a detailed scene. In the center, there are two human forms, one male and one female, both nude. They rest against the base of a tree and together hold an apple. The woman's long hair blows across her face, and the man looks up at her. To the left of the man is a dog, and below them are rocks, leaves, and shells. Above them, hanging from the tree, is a child with the tail of a snake, holding an apple. The sculpture is has a smooth texture and off-white color. It sits on a dark, round pedestal.
