A small, square etching on a light-colored background depicts a tomb. The tomb is rectangular with a flat top and has the name "MOLIERE" on the front. Two pillars are on either side. The top of the tomb has a bowl with flame emanating from it. The image features a laurel wreath surrounding the tomb. The wreath has leaves and berries. The etching has a border with rounded corners. The artist's signature is in the bottom corners. The etching appears to be on a textured surface. The image is in black and white. The overall appearance is simple and somber.
