Two boys, naked except for narrow strips of drapery, stand side by side, the arm of that on the spectator's left draped over the shoulder of his companion. His left leg rests on a tree stump, and he smiles down at the head of a fish supported on that knee. The fish's mouth is pen as though to spout water, and the boy holds the tail in his left hand. His companion smiles at him, while resting his right hand on the fish's head. The sculpture has been previously broken and repaired. The head of the figure on the spectator's right is a replacement, being of a different style and a lighter, yellower clay. The heads have been swapped from their previous position.
