Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a man sticking his tongue out. A person, seen in profile view, is leaning over a table with papers scattered across it. The background suggests an official setting with figures appearing to act in official capacities. Through a window, an older person wearing glasses observes the scene with a surprised or concerned expression. French text at the bottom of the drawing suggests commentary on imprisonment.
