This painting shows a scene with three women and a man. The man is lying down, and one woman is standing over him. Another woman is sitting on the ground, and the third woman is standing behind her. The women are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and the man is wearing a simple robe. The painting is done in a style that makes the figures look soft and smooth. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and tans. The background is dark, which makes the figures stand out. The painting is held at the National Museum of Ancient Art.
