The image shows a person lying on a bed, facing away from the viewer. The person's body is relaxed with an arm raised. The face is partially obscured, with closed eyes and delicate features. The hair is styled elegantly. The person is unclothed, draped in bedding. They are surrounded by pillows and a bed covering. Next to the figure is a small cherubic figure. The background has detailed curtains around the bed. The scene is enclosed in an ornate oval frame with a floral motif.
