This is a drawing of a figure with architectural backgrounds labeled "SEBASTOPOL" and "BOMARSUND." The drawing depicts a figure shown kneeling and bound by loops of rope. The attire suggests a military uniform, with a helmet featuring a prominent plume. In the background, there are faint outlines of structures or fortifications labeled as "SEBASTOPOL" and "BOMARSUND." The style of this drawing, with loose and fluid shading, focuses on conveying emotion and satire. Text below the image reads "S’ADMINISTRANT LA DISCIPLINE" and "C’est par ma faute, par ma faute, par ma très grande faute !".
