This is a painting of a structure housing a figure lying down. The structure resembles a glass encasement or display, decorated with vibrant floral motifs in red, blue, and brown. Inside, the figure is draped in a pattern-rich garment of red, orange, and blue hues, and is adorned with a decorative headdress. The piece showcases deliberate use of color contrasts and intricate detailing in the structure and the garment.
