Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man standing on a cart, turned to the right. The man has a large head, short hair and a large nose. He wears a dark jacket. A white paper sign hangs from his left arm with three lines of black text that read from top to bottom: L'ERE DES, CESARS. His right hand rests on top of a short, stone column. A dog sits on the ground to the right. The cart has one visible wheel. Two people flee to the right, away from the cart. Several other indistinct people and butterflies are in the background. The image is surrounded by a thin black border on a textured, off-white background. Small, black text is printed along the bottom.
