The image shows a sculpture of a seated figure without a head, draped in a flowing robe and holding a scepter-like object in its right hand. The sculpture is depicted in a monochrome color scheme in a line drawing style, suggesting it is made of stone or a similar material. It is elevated on a pedestal labeled "MONARCHIE." In the foreground, a group of people holding small busts look up towards the sculpture in a caricature style, providing scale and context to its size.
