    A male figure dressed in a bathing suit stands in the middle of a triangular-shaped pool while three figures are balance above him. His head is raised and in his arms he holds a nude female figure up in front of his face. The female figure has long hair and holds a globe up with her proper right hand. Jets of water spray from the globe and from the proper left shoulder of the standing male. In front of these two figures is a wall with a slatted ledge on top. Water spills over the ledge and into the triangular-shaped pool. A male and a female figure hang over the edge of the ledge and reach down toward the female held by the standing male figure.
