This painting shows a woman in a dark, richly draped room, standing over a sleeping man. She holds a red curtain open with one hand and a sword in the other. The woman wears a green dress with a white shawl and a pearl necklace. The man lies on a bed, covered by a white sheet, with his head resting on a pillow. The room is dimly lit, with red curtains and a dark background. The woman's expression is calm, while the man appears to be in a deep sleep. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet tension, as if the woman is about to take action. You can find more works like this at the National Museum in Warsaw.
