The sculpture depicts two figures, one lying down and the other standing or kneeling close by, engaged in a tender interaction. The reclining figure appears to be resting their head on the lap or chest of the other figure. Both figures are clothed in draped garments that contour closely to their bodies. The sculpture is in high relief on what looks like a circular medallion, with the word "PIETATI" inscribed beneath the figures. The piece is crafted from a bronze material, exhibiting a warm, mottled brown patina with areas of shiny highlights. The surface of the sculpture is detailed, with visible textures in the clothing and hair of the figures.
