The image shows a nude woman crouched with her body angled to the side. Her right hand is on her ear while her left arm rests across her knees. She has a rounded face, full lips, and eyes looking to her left. Her hair is styled with curls framing her face. A cherub with wings stands behind her, appearing to gesture towards her hair. The cherub is also nude with spread wings. To the woman's left, there is a potted plant with ornate leaves or flowers. The background features vertical lines and possible architectural elements, hinting at a classical or mythological setting.
