This is a drawing of a group of people gathered around a central female figure. The woman is dressed in elaborate Victorian-style clothing, while six men beside her wear a variety of hats and coats typical of late 19th to early 20th-century attire. The text in Spanish above and below the drawing is surrounded by a decorative border. The upper text reads "LA MUJER DE CIEN MARIDOS COMO ALFILERES PRENDIDOS". Below the drawing, there is a poem or song in Spanish about themes of romance and coquettish behavior. The drawing features detailed linework and the text is printed against a red background. The drawing's style resembles traditional Mexican prints from the era of Posada, known for their exaggerated depictions of characters.
