This is a drawing of a balancing scale with uneven weights. The drawing depicts an exaggerated scale where one side holds a large, rotund figure labeled "BUDGETS EUROPEENS" with numerical symbols that suggest a value of "1,000,000,000" and is much heavier than the opposite side, which holds a pyramid arrangement of numerous small spheres or balls. The scale is tilting significantly to the side of the rotund figure, illustrating an imbalance. The surrounding ground is scattered with additional loose balls or spheres. The composition uses line work and shading to emphasize the disparities.
