The image depicts a central figure surrounded by clouds, flanked by two smaller winged figures. The central figure is seated with her right arm resting on a book and her left arm holding a curved object. She has a serene expression with downcast eyes, and her hair is styled simply with a laurel wreath. She wears a flowing dress and has large wings. The cherub on her left holds a scroll, while the other cherub on her right grasps an object resembling a ribbon. The background is filled with clouds.
