This is a drawing of four figures in motion. The main scene shows three figures interacting lively, reacting to the presence of a fourth figure holding a baton. The figures are exaggerated and whimsically dressed. One figure wears a hat with the word "Univers" on it. Another figure has bulging eyes and looks apprehensive. In the background, a lone figure stands observing. The scene is sketched with detailed, expressive lines.
