The sculpture depicts a cherub, a young winged child with curly hair, shown in a seated position. The cherub leans against a column with a quiver of arrows next to them and is surrounded by a landscape with a small tree and foliage. The bronze-like sculpture has a warm, golden-brown hue with subtle highlights. The cherub's relaxed posture and gentle expression are carved in low relief on a circular medallion, which seems designed for hanging, with a small hole at the top.
