The image shows a person reclining against a pedestal. The figure has a classical facial expression with a full face and slightly closed eyes, and a swept-back hairstyle held with a headscarf. The person is nude, holding a pitcher and pouring liquid into a cup. A cherub with wings hovers nearby. The background includes a draped curtain, a column with carvings, and a low wall. The base is inscribed with "TEMPERANCIA." The artwork is a monochromatic engraving with detailed line work.
