The sculpture depicts a relief of two young boys in profile facing right. One boy has longer hair and wears a loose garment, while the other has shorter hair and a jacket. The sculpture is made of a pale, stone-like material, possibly plaster or marble. It is mounted within a wooden frame. The figures have soft and gentle appearances with delicate details in their clothing and faces. Engravings surround the figures on the upper and lower parts of the sculpture.
