This is a drawing of an interior scene featuring three figures. The drawing depicts two men wearing towels or drapes, standing indoors with a pool or bath in the background, where additional figures are swimming. One figure is seated on a bench in the foreground. The other two figures are positioned with their backs to the observer, one tall and skinny, while the other is a rotund figure. The environment suggests an interior sports or leisure facility. The drawing style is reminiscent of 19th-century satirical art, with exaggerated forms. The accompanying French text translates to a question regarding who first claimed man to be the king of creation.
