This is a painting of a book cover design with a person gesturing towards a small dog. The illustration shows an individual wearing a plaid-patterned coat, reaching out an arm to a small, darkly-colored dog running in the foreground. The backdrop includes sketch-like figures of other people on the left. The cover features the title "Le Fardeau de la Liberté" and appears to be a comedic play in one act by Tristan Bernard. The publication details at the bottom indicate it is from Paris, 1897. The style is reminiscent of Toulouse-Lautrec.
