The sculpture depicts a group of figures. A central female figure is semi-reclining with her head gently tilted upwards. Surrounding her are several other figures, including cherubic children who appear to interact with the central figure, as well as other adult figures, some with wings. The figures are intricately arranged and entwined. The sculpture has a monochrome appearance, commonly associated with marble material, highlighting intricate details and contours. The artwork appears as a relief, with three-dimensional elements emerging from a flat background, allowing light to accentuate depth and form against the surface.
