The image shows a slightly elevated view of a reclining male figure in the lower left, surrounded by scattered arrows. In the background, there are hills with vegetation. A figure is depicted above the man, encircled in a cloud formation. The painting uses fluid brushstrokes with sepia tones dominating the palette. A dog is seen to the right of the man, alongside lightly drawn trees and open space extending towards the hills.
