The men have caricatured features, with large heads and facial expressions. The man on the right appears to be balding with a mustache. The man in the center has short hair and a beard. The heads of the other men are to his left and behind him. The background shows a building with columns on a hill. Trees are on the left side of the building. The image appears to be a satirical cartoon. The text at the bottom reads "Un ministere revenu sur l'eau". The image has a caption and signature.
