This is a drawing of two figures walking past a woman seen through a window. The drawing depicts an interior view where a woman stands in a theatrical or shop display-like setting, seemingly framed by a large window. Behind the window, lines suggest she is in an illuminated space, drawing the attention of those passing by. On the right, two figures are captured mid-step as one of them is pulling the other along. They appear to be moving away from the window, with exaggerated expressions. The use of shading and line work is typical of 19th-century satire, with the figures wearing period attire that includes hats and coats. The text below the image suggests a narrative or commentary.
