The painting depicts a landscape with a rocky outcrop in the center. The rocky outcrop is light gray and has several large boulders. There are trees growing out of the rocks. In the foreground, three men are sleeping on the ground. The man on the left is wearing an orange and blue robe and lying on his side with his head resting on his arm. The man in the middle is wearing a blue robe and lying on his side with his head resting on his arm. The man on the right is wearing a red robe and sitting with his head resting on his hand. Above them, another man with long brown hair is kneeling on the rocks, wearing a white robe, with his hands clasped together in prayer. There are two small figures on top of the rocky outcrop; one is wearing green and red and the other appears to be an angel, with a large red wing. In the background, there is a cityscape with buildings and a mountain range. The sky is blue with white clouds and a sunset or sunrise color scheme on the left side. The painting has a gold frame.
