This is a drawing of a crowded subway train. The image depicts an overcrowded subway car with individuals attempting to squeeze inside. The train door is partially open, and a person is seen pushing against it while standing on the platform. Inside the car, other individuals are compressed together, with various expressions of strain and discomfort. The number "4210" is visible on the train car, and a sign that reads "28" is in the background. A crumpled newspaper labeled "PROUST'S 1940" lies on the platform.
