This is a drawing of a robed figure observing a pile of cannonballs and a large cannon. The figure wears a crown and a robe labeled "Europe." The scene is indoors with an arched entryway in the background. The cannon and cannonballs are arranged as a gift. The drawing is detailed with shading that adds depth to the robe and objects. The use of contrast highlights spikes behind the cannon. The title at the bottom is "Les cadeaux de Noël de 1868."
