The Smithsonian Inventory (
visit link) describes the work thusly:
"A bronze sculpture depicting a little girl and boy playing rests atop a small rectangular granite base that sits in the middle of an irregularly-shaped fountain basin. The little boy reclines on his stomach and the little girl is seated on his back. The boy takes a deep breath and reaches up to his nose with his proper right hand. His legs are bent at the knees and crossed at the ankles. The girl riding on his back, tilts her head up, raises her proper right arm above her head, and places her proper left hand on the boy's head.
Anna Coleman Ladd is the sculptor of this 1922 piece.
