The image shows two individuals captured from the waist up. The person in the forefront is an older man, upright with his head slightly tilted downwards, smiling at the camera. He has a mustache, combed-back hair, pronounced eyebrows, and a lined face. The man wears a sleeveless, dark tank top with light-colored trim along the straps. Resting her head on his chest is a woman with her eyes closed. Her head is tilted back slightly, and her hair is short and appears damp. She is also in a sleeveless tank top. The background is blurred but suggests an outdoor setting with a body of water, a wooden structure on the right, and a thick rope running horizontally across.

It is adorned with a cloak with intricate designs around the collar and wears white clothing that covers the legs fully. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and ivory. The material appears to be carved wood, seen from the texture on the hands and feet. Inside a decorated box with floral patterns, the sculpture is framed by an ornately carved border.
