This is a drawing of two figures wearing masks in front of a neoclassical building. The drawing depicts two figures standing before a building labeled "Assemblée Nationale," which resembles a Greek or Roman temple with its classic columns and pediment. The figures, clad in robes and wearing theatrical masks, are standing next to a cage labeled "Canards sacrés," or "Sacred Ducks," with several ducks poking their heads out from the bars. "Constitutionnel" is written on the ground in front of the cage. The style of the drawing is indicative of 19th-century political cartoons.
