The drawing shows a pale blue background made of pencil strokes. Scattered across the entire surface are many small, yellow, five-pointed stars, irregularly spaced, with a single small blue moon near the upper left. On the left side of the composition, a nude figure with short brown hair and eyes closed floats upright as if suspended in midair, facing right. On the right side, a dog figure floats upright, facing left, with eyes closed. Extending between their figures is a long, pale, horizontal form connecting them.
