This is a drawing of two men engaged in a boxing demonstration with an observer. The scene features two men in period attire, one demonstrating a boxing move on the other. The demonstrator is holding the other man's arm and preparing to throw a punch. The man being demonstrated on looks surprised. To the right, another figure in a suit and top hat observes the interaction. In the background, boxing gloves and sticks are hanging on the wall. French text at the bottom provides a caption or dialogue related to the scene. The style is reminiscent of a 19th-century caricature, focusing on exaggerated expressions and a satirical undertone.
