This is a drawing of a figure lifting a heavy object labeled "Réparation Monarchique." The figure has exaggerated features and is depicted leaning forward with one arm extended back, as if struggling to lift a trapezoidal object from the ground. The object bears an inscription related to monarchy. The scene conveys a sense of struggle through the character's posture and musculature. The background is minimalistic.
