This is a drawing of a mythological scene. The artwork shows a monumental nude female figure, draped in a cloth, sitting in a surreal seascape. Her face is slightly tilted downward, with closed eyes. Beside her is a mosaic-style ball. A bull is depicted lying on its back. The sea has stylized waves, and a boat with figures on board is in the distance. A figure in flowing robes appears to be falling from the sky. The background includes geometric structures resembling cliffs or ancient architecture. The style is detailed with cross-hatching.
