Family group at the beach stands on a low circular base set within a round basin. Water spouts inward from all around the base. All four figures wear swimsuits and stand facing each other. The father reaches out with his proper left hand to hold the boy's proper left hand; and gestures towards the mother with his proper right hand. The boy balances with his proper right foot atop a sphere; his proper left foot is bent and elevated. The mother reaches out to the father with her proper right hand and holds a young girl atop her proper left shoulder.
