The image shows a woman sitting on a bed. She has dark, short hair and is reaching for a lit candle on a wall sconce. She is wearing a sleeveless nightgown and the bed has a metal frame. Another person is lying in the bed to the left, partially visible under blankets. The room is dimly lit by the candle, casting shadows in the dark setting.
