The image features two figures in a dimly lit, enclosed space. One figure is a woman reclining on a low surface, wearing flowing clothing. Beside her is a table with a lit candle. In the background, standing by an open curtain, is a man in a suit holding a round object. The setting includes heavy drapery, a framed picture, and a mirror reflecting light.
