The image shows two main figures with additional smaller figures above them. The central figure on the left is reclining with their eyes closed, resting their head on their right hand, and their left hand across the body. This person has long, wavy hair and a bare chest. The figure next to them is seated, facing the reclining person, while holding a long staff or spear. This person has hair styled neatly back and wears a draped garment. Above these two figures, there are two cherubic figures with wings, one holding a curved horn-like object. At the base, two dogs are present, one with its head up looking towards the viewer. The background features shaded illustrations of foliage and a circular design framing the seated figure's head.
