ce qui prouve que quand on fait...patrouille...

This is a drawing of a group of figures in military attire in an urban setting. The drawing shows four soldiers huddled closely together as they move through what appears to be a dark alleyway or street. The soldiers are wearing uniforms with plumed helmets and each appears to be carrying a rifle with a bayonet. In the background is the façade of a building with a window, illuminated by an interior light, which casts a silhouette of a person or mannequin looking outwards. The scene is rendered in monochrome, capturing the nocturnal atmosphere with intense vertical shading and shadows. The text above and below the image, in French, adds a narrative element to the scene, titled "ÉMOTIONS PARISIENNES".
