This is a drawing of a disrupted picnic in a windy outdoor setting. The scene shows individuals trying to save their picnic amidst gusts of wind. The drawing includes humorous exaggerations typical of caricature with exaggerated facial expressions suggesting distress and surprise. Picnic items such as plates, a hat, and a cloth are being swept away by the wind. One person clings onto a tree while others attempt to gather the scattering items. The backdrop includes a couple of trees and open land, emphasizing the outdoor location. The style is reminiscent of the works of Honoré Daumier.
