This is a drawing of two figures interacting across a riverbank. One figure stands with a surprised expression, holding a club-like object and looking towards the other side. The second figure on the opposite bank appears to be making a loud noise, with one hand near their mouth and holding a lifeless animal. The background is minimal, suggesting an outdoor environment near water, with undulating lines representing a river. The scene conveys urgency or conflict through the postures and expressions of the figures. The title at the top is "Émotions de Chasse," which translates to "Emotions of the Hunt," with the caption "Bertrand et Raton."
