Eng Tay made works using the printmaking technique and this work is noteworthy for the use of warm reds and rich umber tones. It depicts a pair of figures in a relaxed pose with their eyes closed, bringing to life a blissful domestic scene.

He worked as a graphic designer for the Red Book magazine until 1978 when he decided to go full time. He was given a Retrospective by Galeri Petronas in 2009. It was called Eng Tay: The Exhibition. His works are in the collection of the Fukuyama Museum of Art, Hiroshima, Japan; Taipei Fine Art Museum, Taiwan; the Frankie Valli Estate, the Merv Griffin Estate and the New York University.
