Español: El sueño del pastor

Un hombre dormido, con ropa marrón, yace en el suelo en primer plano mientras espíritus alados de tonos pálidos y arremolinados, y una figura femenina voladora con ropajes fluidos, llenan el aire sobre él. Un dibujo en tinta y aguada de tonos grises y marrones, con toques de blanco, muestra árboles y pequeñas figuras en los bordes inferiores.

Um homem adormecido, com roupas marrons, jaz no chão em primeiro plano enquanto espíritos alados de tons pálidos e redemoinhos, além de uma figura feminina voadora com vestes fluidas, preenchem o ar acima dele. Um desenho em nanquim e aguada, em tons de cinza e marrom com toques brancos, mostra árvores e pequenas figuras nas bordas inferiores.
