The image depicts a pencil drawing of a nude cherub with wings lying on a stone near a body of water. The cherub has curly hair and is holding a quill pen. A piece of paper and the quill pen lay on the stone beside the cherub's right hand. The stone juts out of the water on the right side of the image with ripples around it. The background on the right features hanging branches. Tall grass grows on the left side. The title of the image, "Repose of the World," is written in cursive across the bottom, with the artist's signature "Guérin 1818" written in the bottom left corner.
