This is a drawing of two scenes related to drinking in Paris. The upper half of the drawing depicts two individuals sitting at a café table. On the left, a figure dressed in a suit is savoring a hot beverage, as indicated by the caption underneath. They are holding a cup to their lips, with an empty plate and a spoon in front of them. To the right, another figure, also well-dressed, is seated with a glass in hand. The background suggests a bustling café scene with more blurred silhouettes in the distance. In the lower half, a gentleman is drinking from a glass, while two figures stand nearby, one holding a jug and with a large barrel strapped to their back. The sketch illustrates the animated atmosphere of these Parisian scenes using lines and shadings.
