This is a drawing of a classroom setting with a teacher at a podium and students at desks. The teacher is standing at a raised desk, pointing with one hand and holding an object in the other hand. Some students are seated to the left, facing a wall with papers. One student has a grimacing expression. The illustration suggests a commentary on educational practices, with a humorous or critical take on traditional teaching methods. The drawing is detailed with cross-hatching and lines, typical of 19th-century satirical illustrations.
