The statue of Friðrik Friðriksso, is a larger than life-sized bronze work. It depicts the pastor sitting with his arms resting on a young boy standing on his right side. The boy looks slightly to his right while Friðriksson seems focused on something in the near distance on his left. The statue is set on a rectangular plinth which is covered with plates of slate.

Friðrik Friðriksson was a beloved pastor who devoted himself to the welfare of the youth of Iceland. He founded the YMCA in Iceland, as well as football and scouting organizations.
