Plus souvent que tu m'attraperas encore à satisfaire ta fantaisie d'aller dîner sur l'herbe . . . V'là deux heures que nous marchons et nous n'avons pas encore trouvé le moindre qazon . . . Si j'avais su, j'aurais fourré au fond du panier notre grand tapis vert.

This is a drawing of two figures carrying baskets in a rural landscape. In the foreground, the two figures are seen from the back, walking with one carrying a larger basket filled with items, and the other holding a smaller bag or basket. The setting suggests a rural scene, with open land, trees, and a simple sky. The drawing uses stippled and lined shading to show texture in the clothing and landscape. The text at the top reads "Les Bons Bourgeois."
