The image shows a person lying down on a bed, reclined against pillows with legs positioned at an angle and covered by a draped blanket. The person's head is turned to the side, with distinct facial features, including closed eyes and wavy hair tied back. The individual is nude, surrounded by sheets and pillows, with shadows and textile details. In the background, a window reveals a night scene with a crescent moon and stars. Beside the bed, there is a round container on a small table, and an inscription in Latin above the headboard. The words "DIE NACHT" are at the bottom of the image, while the setting includes ornamental carvings on the bedposts and headboard.
