The painting depicts a scene with two main figures, a man and a woman, and a small cherub. The woman has long blonde hair in braids and is topless, wearing a flowing white cloth around her lower body and a red sash. She is cradling the man's head in her arms. The man is topless, with his arms wrapped around the woman's body, and his head resting on her chest. A small cherub with wings is positioned behind the woman. The background features a cloudy sky with a bright light shining through. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and black dominating the scene. The figures appear to be floating amidst the clouds.
