This is a drawing of a figure emerging from behind a large sign or panel. The drawing features a heavily outlined figure popping out from behind a panel that displays the word "Chaventon." The figure appears to be holding a tool or pen, with a fabric-like garment draped over its shoulders. Below, a smaller face peers from behind the panel's bottom edge. The drawing is characterized by strong linear strokes and an expressive, somewhat surreal and cartoonish style.
