This is a drawing of a large birdcage with a bird inside, placed on a pedestal. Two figures are outside the cage: a jester-like character holding a feather and a woman holding a paint bucket, with "RUE DE POITIERS" on her clothing. Their expressions and postures suggest a humorous or critical tone. The drawing is detailed with cross-hatching and meticulous line work, resembling illustrations from the 19th century. There is a French caption at the bottom that translates, "- Are you going to open the cage door? - For example .... I am going to repaint it." The style is reminiscent of Honoré Daumier.
