The sculpture depicts two human figures: one reclining and the other kneeling beside the first. The reclining figure is lying on a chaise-like structure with an arm raised behind their head. The kneeling figure is positioned beside the reclined figure, with one hand on the seated individual's abdomen and the other arm raised. Both figures are nude, highlighting the intricate detail of their musculature and posture. The sculpture is made of a dark bronze material, giving it a rich coloration with highlights. This intimate scene is captured in a small-scale composition, evident from the detailed features of the anatomically accurate figures. The medium and finish give the piece a smooth texture.
