The image displays a woman wearing a flowing gown, standing on her toes and reaching towards a statue of a winged child or cherub. She has one arm outstretched to touch the statue, while her other arm rests on the pedestal. Her head is tilted upwards, and her long hair flows down her back. The woman is surrounded by a garden setting, with foliage in the background and another small figure partially visible behind a hedge or ornament.
