Rackham worked in pen and ink with a watercolour wash, and his signature is lettered inside the art.

A kneeling bearded man in a top hat holds up a purple bed-curtain with brass rings while two older women and an overcoated man look on, and a faint face peers from the shadows at the lower left. The printed caption reads, \"What do you call this?\" said Joe. \"Bed-curtains!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat colours are in this print?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palette is muted sepia, brown, cream and grey, built from a pen-and-ink drawing with watercolour wash. A purple accent glows on the bed-curtain, warm orange-brown flame tones flicker in the fire at the upper left, and red stripes appear on the bundled cloth and in the patterned drapery at the right edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eIs this an original antique print or a reproduction?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a modern giclée reproduction of Arthur Rackham's public-domain 1915 illustration, not an original plate.
