This is a drawing of a parliamentary scene depicted in a satirical manner. The image consists of two panels; the upper panel shows a figure leaning aggressively over a podium as if addressing someone seated below. The figure seated below is depicted with a stern facial expression, with "MINISTRES" written behind. The lower panel portrays the same individual engaging with others, receiving handshakes from those surrounding him, who are depicted with exaggerated facial features typical of caricature. The assembly setting includes an audience of similarly exaggerated characters seated in rows. This drawing is likely a humorous social or political commentary through its caricature style.
