The image shows two figures in the foreground and a child in the lower part. One figure with wings is reclining on clouds, holding a laurel wreath and an oval medallion containing a detailed profile of a person's head. The other central figure stands beside the cloud. This figure is clothed in flowing drapery and extends a hand towards the medallion. Below them, a small child appears holding a shield decorated with fleur-de-lis motifs while a dog reclines next to the child. The background features an architectural structure with engraved images of several people in a classical scene, set against swirling clouds. The composition is rendered in a monochromatic style.
