The image shows two full-length figures and a cherub in a classical pastoral setting. The woman on the left is standing, with her body turned slightly towards the seated man. She has long, wavy hair that flows over her shoulder, and there is a chain of pearls or beads draped across her body. Her gaze is directed towards the man. She is partially covered with flowing drapery, and her hand rests gently on her chest. A small cherub with wings stands beside her, looking up and reaching towards her. The seated man has curly hair and is shirtless, wearing a cloth draped around his waist and sandals laced up his calves. He holds a shepherd's staff in one hand and extends his other hand towards the woman. The background features a large tree with an expansive canopy of leaves and a mountainous landscape visible in the distance.
