The image is a relief sculpture on a white marble panel. It depicts a group of five figures, including a man, a woman, and two children, standing in a line. The figures are dressed in ancient Greek or Roman clothing, with the man wearing a long robe and the woman wearing a flowing dress.

The man is sitting on a throne-like structure, with his legs crossed and his hands resting on his lap. He is holding a staff in his right hand. The woman is standing next to him, holding a basket in her left hand. She is also holding a book in her right hand and appears to be reading from it. The two children are standing on either side of the throne, with their arms around each other's shoulders. They are also holding books in their hands and appear to be engaged in a conversation. The background of the relief is plain and unadorned, with no other objects or decorations visible.
