V'la une p'tite femme qu'est pas paresseuse ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The drawing features two individuals in a theatrical setting. One figure sits down, wearing an elaborate dress and holding an object near their face. The other figure stands, pulling on a rope with tension. The medium appears to be lithographic, with shading and sketchy lines conveying depth and emotion. The scene depicts an interaction characteristic of 19th-century illustrations or caricatures.
