This black ink drawing shows a landscape scene with a large rocky formation on the banks of a river. A figure, holding a long staff, is seated at the base of the rocky formation and two others stand nearby. The opposite bank of the river is shown in the foreground with bushy vegetation and a group of figures seated at the water's edge. In the distance on the left is a bridge and buildings and on the right there are buildings and figures walking together. The thin pen strokes are quickly drawn and wider strokes of black create depth and shading for this scene.

A bearded man, wearing majestic red robes with a large ermine collar and a green turban surmounted by a crown, sits on a throne at left. He leans forward, holding a long thin scepter in his right hand while touching his chest with his left. Before him stand two women supporting a third, who has fainted. This third woman wears a splendid blue robe ornamented with a row of opulent clasps, a luxurious golden cloak lined with pink fabric, and a crown that seems to tilt precariously on the back of her head. The man looks intently into the face of the fainted woman, while the two women, in turn, watch his expression closely.
