This is a drawing of a scene featuring a lavish bed with draped curtains and a large canopy. One figure laying on the bed is partially covered with fabric, while another stands above them, nude. A third partially-clothed figure lays on the edge of the bed on their stomach, and a small dog rests underneath the bed. In front of the bed, one floorboard has been removed, and two jets of water erupt out of the floor and on to the figures on the bed. In the top left corner, a figure looks down from an alcove at the scene.
