Illustration for the cover of The Savoy magazine with a woman and a mischievous cherub strolling through a park.

In this cover design for The Savoy magazine, the publication title runs across the top of the sheet, set in all capital letters in a serif font. Below the title is an illustration of a young woman strolling through a park, accompanied by a small cherub carrying a staff. She is wearing a long coat and gloves, and holds a whip in her right hand. The cherub is also wearing a long coat, but as he takes a step forward, he pulls it back to reveal his nude frontside.
