This is a drawing of a group of people carrying oversized paintings. The scene depicts individuals moving large canvases towards a building marked "MUSÉE ROYAL." In the foreground, a figure with a beard and dressed in a long robe leads the way, carrying a palette and brush. The people in the background are wearing hats and are focused on transporting the artworks. The setting is an urban area with a cobblestone street and buildings. The drawing conveys a sense of urgency and movement, with the text indicating the "last day for accepting paintings."
