The image shows a cherubic figure in a dynamic pose. The figure appears to be in motion, with one arm raised above the head and a slight twist in the torso. The cherub's facial features are abstract and stylized, and the hair is tousled and flowing. The figure is nude and stands within a lightly sketched rectangular border. The background is plain, with a few sketched rectangular forms along the border. The drawing is executed in monochromatic brown ink, with shading and cross-hatching adding depth to the figure.
