There are three figures depicted in a line drawing. The first figure on the left is a man seated on a bed, with his right arm raised. He is shirtless, wearing traditional attire, including a feathered headdress. Next to him is a seated figure facing slightly away, wearing a draped garment. The third figure is lying in the bed, covered with bedding and asleep. The background shows a room with wooden wall panels, a window on the left, and firearms mounted on the right wall.
