The work is noted for its exquisite detail and delicate use of color. The image features a reclining woman in a lavish, ornate setting with a pair of white peacocks. The scene is likely meant to capture the poetic imagery of the text, evoking themes of beauty, love, and the ephemeral nature of life.
