Black and white drawing of a scene titled "Le Carnaval a Paris" by Paul Gavarni. A man and a boy are standing. The man is on the left, wearing a feathered hat, a white shirt, loose pants, and a cape. He is leaning on a pole with his right hand. The boy is on the right, wearing a white hat, a white shirt, and dark pants. The boy's right arm is stretched across the man's body and his left hand is on the man's right arm. The man has a mustache and appears to be much larger than the boy. The background appears to be a wall or curtain. Text is written in French at the top and bottom of the image.
