A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a caricatured man from the waist up, his wide-set eyes and mouth open. Holding spectacles to our right, his left hand rests on his hip. He wears an ornate jacket with floral patterns and star-shaped medals. Numerous small ants crawl over light-colored trousers toward a wide sash at his waist. Large tassels hang to our left against a dark, textured background.
