A humorous ink drawing depicting a person sleeping soundly in bed with a sheep leaping through the air towards a window in the background. The drawing includes a caption that reads, "The sheep were counted as they jumped through the gap. I was already asleep—only a battering ram could've waken me up." The style is loose and expressive, suggesting a lighthearted take on the concept of counting sheep to fall asleep.
