The image is an engraving featuring a reclining female figure and a small winged figure hovering above her. The woman is lying on her back, propped up on pillows with her head turned to the side. She is nude and covered partially by draped fabric that appears to be bedsheets. There is a bed with ornate drapery and lush bedding, set within an oval floral frame. A cherub above her is holding a cloth, seemingly pulling it away from her face. The cherub has curly hair and a soft, youthful expression. Below the image is an illustrated border with floral motifs and symbols like a quiver of arrows. The scene is crafted in a classical style with intricate detailing, set against a background of rumpled sheets.
