The bronze statue's title meaning Path Of the Roses is raised on a mottled circular Verde Antico marble base with its bronze signature plaque at the front.

The statue depicts a young boy and girl walking side by side with the girl displaying a smiling expression while holding her dress up with roses falling from it. The boy has his arm placed on her shoulder while his straw hat hangs on his back. Exceptional attention to detail with all original and rich patina throughout.
