This is a drawing of a child on the edge of a bath, with a figure behind them. The child's feet create ripples in the water below. The figure seems to be supporting or encouraging the child. The room is simply furnished, with a hat hanging in the background and water dripping from the tub. There is a caption in French implying the child's concern about large fish in the water.
