An illustration of a scene with a man and a woman. The man lies on a raised platform on the left, on a blue patterned mattress, with his head on a red pillow; he wears a red robe. The woman stands on the right; she wears a blue top and a long green skirt; she also wears a nose ring, several necklaces, earrings, a bracelet on each wrist, a gold belt around her waist, and holds a handkerchief; she looks toward the sleeping man, while turning her head to look back over her shoulder. There is a low brick wall between the platform and the woman. The background shows a building on the left and trees on the right. The illustration appears to be on a yellowed parchment; there are lines of text in black ink above and below.
