This is a black and white illustration of a hen sitting on eggs labeled with words like "PROGRÈS" (Progress) and "FRATERNITÉ" (Fraternity). The image features detailed shading and line work, emphasizing the hen's feathers and the nest. The central image is surrounded by a border-like outline, with the artist's signature on the lower left corner. The title at the bottom translates to "Easter eggs that take a long time to hatch."
