The chubby putto is shown striding forward. His right foot (front) is firmly placed on the ground, whilst his left foot (back) is clear of the ground with exception of the toes. The arms are wide-flung; the left lowered and held out backwards, with palm turned downwards and fingers splayed; the right arm raised and held out in front, with palm turned forwards. His head is slightly raised and lips parted, he stares at the object once held in his right hand.
