This is a drawing of people moving furniture through a window. The drawing depicts an exterior urban scene at night, with a man leaning out of an upper window, lowering or lifting a piece of furniture with the assistance of someone below. A woman and another person stand nearby watching the process. The buildings are drawn with simple lines and cross-hatching techniques. The text in French suggests the theme of tenants and landlords. Details are outlined in a caricature or satirical style, emphasizing the chaotic nature of moving.
