They are busts of a boy with his arm raised and a shy girl shielding her face with one hand. Both are missing the lower part of the torso, yet these fragments of 19th-century terracotta sculptures have retained the characteristic expressions of their faces, with their strong romantic overtones.

The maximum overall dimensions are indicated; the exact measurements for the female figure are: height of the figure 41 cm (total with pedestal 44 cm), width 25 cm, and depth 30 cm. For the male figure, height of the figure 34 cm (total with pedestal 50.5 cm), width 42 cm, and depth 18 cm.
