This print shows three people wearing long coats and hats and approaching a tall curtain with the sign "VENTE A 50% DE RABAIS." The two people on the left wear dark coats and look to the right with unhappy expressions. The person at the center is facing away from us and grabbing one of the men's arms, gesturing into the curtain on the right with their other hand. They wear a lighter coat with a checkered pattern and a flat round cap instead of the top hats the other two men are wearing. All three people have light skin. Another person is visible in the background on the left, and nothing is visible on the right behind the curtain.
