The sculpture depicts a cherubic figure with outstretched arms and a gentle expression. It is made of painted wood, with soft pinkish hues for the skin tones and carefully painted facial features. The hair is brown with detailed curls. The figure is draped with a golden cloth, contrasting with the skin tones. The pose suggests movement, typical of cherub representations. The realistic details in the face and body make the figure relatable and lifelike.
