This is a drawing showing a figure in bed, surrounded by large pillows or quilts. Above the figure, there is a scene with another figure wielding a spear over a supine figure on a cloud-like formation. In the background, there are soldiers. Beside the bed, there is a framed drawing of a person with a halo. Light and shadow are used effectively in the image.
