The artwork depicts a tranquil, dreamlike scene beside a serene body of water. In the foreground, a figure lies wrapped in what appears to be an animal skin, seemingly engrossed in a deep slumber or dream. Nearby, another figure, dressed in simple attire, is seated and gazing at the sleeping hunter.

The overall composition and color palette evoke a sense of calm and mysticism, emblematic of Roerich’s symbolic style.
