The image depicts two figures. One figure is reclining on a bed, appearing asleep, with a full view of their face and blue wings attached to their back. The other figure is standing beside the bed, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a dagger in the other. The standing figure has long hair and is draped in a light cloth. The bed is covered with white and light blue drapery. In the foreground, there is an ornate gold vessel with rising smoke, suggesting an incense burner. The background features heavy drapery.
