content: A man seated before a stove, sleeping, his head resting against cushions. He faces left, his head shown almost in profile. In the foreground, right, stands a nude woman (Venus), her figure turned slightly to the left, her head in the direction of the dreamer, her right arm extended toward him. A demon appears behind the sleeping man, about to blow a bellows in his ear. A winged Amor, lower left, attempts to mount stilts.
