This is a drawing of two shadowy figures with a scroll and a sleeping individual in the background. The scene depicts two figures in dark attire standing on the left, partially obscured by drapery. One is wearing a conical hat and patterned suit while the other, holding a cylindrical scroll or instrument, is pointing towards the right. On the right, beyond the curtains, is another figure reclining on a bed with a peaceful expression, surrounded by pillows and layered textiles. Above them, a small cluster of symbolic objects is mounted on the wall.
