The image shows an intricate engraving with multiple figures in varying degrees of exposure and position. Two intertwined mostly naked figures are seated on a bed with heavy drapery around them. The central figures are a male with muscular arms wrapped around a female figure leaning back against him. Cherubic figures with wings are present, one holding the drapery above the bed and another holding a candle and drapery near the couple. The background features a scene with horses and a chariot in the sky, visible through an open window or mural. The room includes classical architectural elements, a grand bed, and on the ground rests a shield, helmet, and pelt.
