A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts four figures in a room. Centrally, a woman with light skin tone leans against a sideboard, raising a bottle while looking down. On our left, a man with light skin tone lies face-down on plates. On our right, another figure lies among broken ceramic. In the background, another woman with light skin tone sits with head resting in hands. French text runs along the bottom.
