The image depicts a sketch on aged, light-brown paper with a darker brown drawing. The drawing is divided into two sections. The top section features multiple nude figures with wings, likely cherubs or putti, gathered around a central figure that appears to be the Madonna and Child. The Madonna and Child are largely sketched in, while the cherubs are more faintly drawn. The bottom section shows three robed male figures, likely saints, standing. From left to right, the first saint holds a book; the second, central figure holds a staff and may have a halo; the third figure holds a flower. The sketch appears to be a preparatory study for a painting titled "Madonna and Child in Glory above Three Saints" by Giovanni Battista Paggi.
