The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene. A group of people surrounds a bed in the center, where a woman lies. The woman on the bed wears a head covering and has her hands folded on her chest. Several people in the scene wear head coverings, robes, and long dresses. A man sits at the foot of the bed, with a book open on a lectern in front of him. Above the bed, a canopy is pulled back, and curtains hang from it. In the upper part of the image, several figures with wings are surrounded by clouds and lines. The background of the image features a wall with curtains on the right side. The overall atmosphere appears to be one of mourning or death.
