This is a drawing of a reclining figure surrounded by two others. The scene depicts a nude figure reclining on a richly-draped bed surrounded by fabric and cushions. An elderly figure leans over from the left, grasping a piece of cloth, while a small winged child gestures towards the reclining figure. The backdrop reveals a pastoral landscape visible through a window or open area, punctuated by trees and distant hills. The use of linework and shading is intricate, conveying a sense of texture and depth to both figures and surroundings.
