The image features a horse-drawn carriage labeled "RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" being pulled by three figures. The carriage is driven by a statue holding an urn inscribed with “VOTE UNIVERSEL.” The scene includes a cobblestone street, a stylized horse, and exaggerated features on the figures, conveying a sense of humor and social commentary. The style is reminiscent of lithograph caricatures from the 19th century.
