The drawing depicts an angelic figure facing the right and leaning slightly forward. The angel’s face is shown in profile, and they have long, wavy hair cascading down their shoulders, with a small braid wrapping around the side of their head. Their attire is a flowing robe with loose sleeves that drapes around their body. One of their hands is partially outstretched, and the other is near their chest, holding a long, slender object resembling a large feather. Large, feathery wings extend from the angel’s back on the left. The background of the drawing is plain, light brown paper with some areas of darker discoloration.
