This is a drawing of an interior scene where a bedridden figure is attended by several others. The image shows a figure lying in a canopy bed with several attendants nearby, each dressed in period clothing of historical European style. On the left, a veiled figure reaches towards the bed, holding a vessel, as another figure appears to be descending from the sky in the upper right corner. The room is elaborately decorated with drapery and furnishings that signify a setting of importance. The text at the bottom is in Italian.
