Three life-size figures, two female musicians and one businessman, represent the connection between business and art. The male figure stands by himself and looks over toward the two female figures who are grouped together. The male figure wears a suit and stands with his hand in his pants pockets. The female figures, one standing and one seated, each carry a violin in one hand. One of the female figures is seated up on top of a low stone wall, her legs crossed and her violin held vertically in her proper right hand. The other female figure is standing nearby, holding her violin tucked under her proper left arm. The two female figures are facing each other.
