The sculpture group comprises three human figures, on a low bench: woman, man, and child.  It measures 154 by 118 by 70 centimetres (61 in × 46 in × 28 in) and weighs 475 kilograms (1,047 lb).
The woman sits to the right, with hair gathered in a bun, small breasts, and a skirt draped round her body and legs.  She is holding the child in the air above her lap with both hands.  The man sits to the left, supporting the child with his left hand, and resting his right hand on the woman's left shoulder.  The two adults mirror each other, turning slightly towards each other and leaning slightly back, with their outside arms curving towards the centre of the composition.  Moore said: "the arms of the mother and the father [intertwine] with the child forming a knot between them, tying the three into a family unity".
