The image displays three figures. The central figure is seated and supported by the other two. The central figure has wavy dark hair, eyes closed, and wears a robe with a cross. The figure on the left looks serene, while the one on the right holds onto the cross. The background is sketchy with dark and light contrast, possibly depicting a dimly lit or nighttime setting with visible wooden beams.
