The image is a monochromatic drawing rendered in brown ink. It depicts a dramatic and emotional scene involving two figures. One figure appears to be a man reclining or lying down, with his body language suggesting weariness or distress. The other figure, who seems to have wings and is possibly an angel or a symbolic representation, leans over the reclining figure, embracing or supporting him in a comforting manner. The artistic style is expressive, using bold lines and shading to convey emotion and depth. The background is abstract, filled with hatching and shading that adds to the intensity of the scene. Below the image, there is a handwritten inscription in a stylized script that reads: ".....to plague his heart until we had unfolded the capacities of his spirit." This quote, combined with the visual elements, suggests themes of struggle, compassion, and spiritual growth. The artist's signature, "Ben Shahn," is visible at the bottom right of the drawing, indicating that this work is by the well-known 20th-century American artist and social activist Ben Shahn.

The style appears loose and expressive, with energetic brushstrokes depicting the lines and curves of the bodies. Below the drawing is a handwritten caption that reads "...to plague his heart until we had unfolded the capacities of his spirit". The drawing has an intimate, sensual feeling conveyed through the close positioning and entangled limbs of the figures. At the same time, the raw, sketchy style gives it an unpolished, emotionally honest quality. The cryptic caption seems to allude to unleashing someone's inner potential or spirit through this intimate interaction.
