This is a drawing of three cartoonish figures wearing pointed hats labeled "ÉTEIGNOIR" playing with each other's sleeves in a large basin. The figures are humorously depicted with exaggerated facial features and expressions. They wear dunce caps labeled "ÉTEIGNOIR No 1," "ÉTEIGNOIR No 2," and "ÉTEIGNOIR No 3." The setting includes an inscription that reads, "LES INSTITUTEURS PRIMAIRES SONT RECOMMANDÉS AUX PRIÈRES DES FIDÈLES. DE PROFUNDIS!" The basin is detailed with classical motifs.
