The image features two stylized abstract faces. One face is on the left with a hat, depicted with simple lines and arcs for eyes, nose, and beard. The second face on the right has a more intricate pattern with swirling lines forming the features, suggesting a sense of concern or thoughtfulness. The text "L'Omnibus de Corinthe" is displayed above the faces, with additional French text present above and below. The artwork is minimalist and bold, with black figures against a beige background.
