The sculpture features two cherubic children interacting with musical instruments and art materials. The child on the left is standing, holding a stringed instrument resembling a lute. The child on the right is seated, holding a small chisel in one hand and a pad of cloth in their lap. Both children have short, curly hair and are naked, although the seated child has a cloth draped across their lap and legs. Below them is a rectangular base with some wreaths and scattered objects around the children. The sculpture is white with grey veining.
