Vertically oriented black-inked print depicting two people with light skin tones, one with their back to the wall while a second leans over, face-to-face with them, left arm bracing them against the wall. The person with their back to the wall has light-colored hair in a curled bob and wears a top hat and dress while pulling on a coat. The other wears a suit and top hat sketched with more frenetic lines than the first. The wall turns into an opening just to our right. Inscribed below the print, an em-dash precedes the words "Croyez vraiment, Mademoiselle, á toute la sinćèritè de mes sentiments......" to which another em-dash begins the quote "Et c'est lá tout ce que tu payes?"
