A horizontally oriented tempera and ink painting on paper depicts a manuscript folio. On the left, a figure with a light skin tone reclines on a blue couch within a red and gold frame, a small attendant standing at the head. A loss of paper obscures the torso. To the right, nine rows of black script, segmented by red vertical lines, surround a solid red circle at the center.
