The image shows a sketch of two individuals engaged in a dynamic fight. The person on the left appears to be attacking, with their body leaning forward and their arm extended, while the person on the right is bent backward. Both individuals have exaggerated expressions and dramatic hair movement. They are wearing long, loose-fitting garments. The background is minimal, with a plain surface. There is a border around the sketch, with text above and below indicating it is part of a series titled "Proverbes et Maximes" and the caption "A bon chat, bon rat."
