Graphite drawing of figure in profile and winged figure with closed eyes

In the left foreground of this image is a figure in profile shown from the chest up. They have an androgynous appearance, with long curly hair, a straight nose, hooded eyes, and full lips. A drape surrounds their head, and they wear loosely draped garments. On the right and at a greater distance, a nude, winged figure sits on a bench with his hand grazing a potted plant on the ground. He leans his head in his hand, and his eyes are closed.
