In the image, a woman is seated in a chair. Her eyes are closed as her head tilts back. She has exaggerated facial features, a large nose, and pronounced cheeks, with styled hair. She wears a voluminous gown with intricate designs and the word "DIPLOMATIE." A skeletal creature stands beside her on a large bassinet, wearing a cap with a plume and holding a sword. The background shows draped curtains.
