On the boy's right side, another female figure, standing on the step, wearing classic clothes, hair tied with a laurel wreath, holds a book in her left hand and a feather in her right hand. In the background, in the upper left corner, a female figure, with one of her shoulders bare, wearing a pink dress, holds the edge of a white cloak, while her right hand is extended towards a boy who extends his hand towards her, wearing a brown cloak. In the background, an urban setting, in which the dome of a cathedral and part of a building stand out, on the right side and an obelisk with statues. Over the scene, the inscription "ARS".
