This is a drawing of a scene at a dining table. The image features two skeletal figures sitting across from each other at a table set with a bottle and glasses. The scene takes place under a sign that reads "Au rendez-vous des bons vivants." In the background, there is a depiction of a figure with a scythe. The setting gives off a commentary on mortality and indulgence, highlighted by the phrase above the figures that reads "Association en commandite pour l'exploitation de l'humanité." The drawing employs fine lines and cross-hatching techniques typical of 19th-century satirical illustrations.
