There are three individuals in the image. Two women stand beside a bed. One woman is leaning forward, holding something. They both wear bonnets and long dresses. A man sits in the bed, propped up by pillows, wearing a nightcap. The room is lavishly decorated with a canopy bed, artwork on the wall, and ornate decorations. A decorative object rests on the floor near the bed.
