The sculpture depicted is a circular medal featuring a relief design with three figures interacting closely. The figures are shown in a standing position, with one figure in the center slightly taller and in an authoritative stance, while the other two figures on either side engage with the central figure. The medal is made of bronze and features detailed engravings, including the words "HE THROUGH THE EYE CORRECTS THE HEART" around the border. Inscriptions below the figures include "E. MORAN DES.", "J. W. WARD SC.", and "ART-UNION OF LONDON 1848."
