This drawing shows two winged infants or cherubs in circular frames. The left circle features a cherub walking with a plant and a bow, set against a landscape with a tree and mountains. The right circle shows a cherub playing a horn while riding on another figure. The circles are connected by a small rectangular cartouche with the letter "L" inscribed. The artwork uses fine linework and hatching for texture and form.
