A vertically oriented black-inked print depicts two full-body figures with light skin tones in top hats and coats. The man on our left leans toward our right, whispering into the other's ear. The second man faces us, cupping his ear with wide eyes. Background text reads "CONTRE LA SURDIT." Above, "REVERS DES MEDAILLES" is inscribed. Below, French dialogue begins with the words "Moi qui vous parle!" followed by several lines.
