A vertically oriented print in black ink on light paper shaded with fine, hatched lines depicts a central frame bordered by sketch-like vignettes. Inside, a horse-drawn carriage travels above an oval portrait of a woman. Light-skinned figures occupy the margins in various poses, including a man fleeing through an archway. At the bottom center, a skeletal creature perches on a skull, playing a stringed instrument above text reading "DILIGENCE DE BEAUCAIRE."
