Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The image depicts a man lying in bed, from the head to the knees. He is in a reclining position with a pillow under his head and covered by a blanket. The man has prominent cheekbones and a narrow chin. He is wearing a nightcap and a nightgown, with his eyes closed and a subtle smile. A cat is on his legs and a small dog is near the bed, interacting with him. A side table next to the bed holds a tall candlestick. Draped curtains form the background, and clothing items are scattered under the bed with slippers on the floor.
