This is a drawing of a figure entangled in a large net labeled "MONARCHIE". The scene is set against a blank backdrop. The figure appears to be caught within the mesh of the net. The net is made of scribbled lines. The drawing has a monochromatic palette. The text at the bottom is written in French. The style of the drawing is reminiscent of 19th-century satirical art.
