The sculpture depicts two full-length standing figures dressed in long flowing robes. The figures are connected to a column, positioned in architectural niches with decorative elements above their heads that resemble small castles or circular crowns with parapets. The material of the sculpture appears to be stone, showing a monochromatic tone consistent with aged or weathered stonework, featuring variations of gray and off-white. The figures are intricately carved, with detailed beards and expressions, and are positioned at eye level on the column, situated on circular bases that protrude slightly from the column itself. The surrounding environment suggests the interior of a cathedral or similar historical, religious site, marked by contrasts of light and shadow and enclosed by wrought iron fencing.
