Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of three figures. Two figures are seated on makeshift scales while a third figure adds a box labeled "Venetie". The drawing features a humorous or satirical scene where figures are being weighed on the scales. The scales are suspended from a horizontal beam and the drawing is in a style typical of satirical cartoons or caricatures. The characters are exaggerated in their features, emphasizing the underlying message or criticism of the artwork.
