The image depicts a black and white drawing of a group of men working on a canal or riverbank. The men are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, including hats and coats. They are gathered near the water's edge, with some standing and others crouched down. In the background, there is a bridge with arches spanning the waterway. On the far side of the bridge, there are trees and buildings. The sky above appears cloudy. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene of manual labor or maintenance work being carried out along the waterway. The title of the piece is "L'Ecluse de la Monnaie" and it is by Auguste Louis Lepère.
