This is a drawing of a scene with a sleeping woman dreaming. The image shows a person sleeping in a bed on the left side, surrounded by heavy bed curtains. Above the sleeper's head is a bubble-like dream scene that includes a grand estate with a mansion in the background, a coach with a driver, and horses in the foreground. The driver appears to be joyfully handling the reins, and the horses are depicted in motion. The dreamlike quality is emphasized by the cloud-like shape containing the estate and the carriage, contrasting with the more solid and detailed rendering of the bedroom on the left. The drawing style is reminiscent of the work by Honoré Daumier.
