The sculpture depicts a couple standing side by side. The male figure is on the left and the female figure is on the right. The man has his arm draped over the woman's shoulder. The man is dressed in a red long-sleeved top, beige pants, black boots, and a red hat. The woman is wearing a long light brown dress with horizontal decorative bands in various colors, and a green shawl or scarf. The figures are crafted close to one another. The material appears to be painted wood, with visible brush strokes and a rustic texture. The sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base with a decorative geometric pattern in earthy tones.
