This drawing shows individuals observing construction work outside a building labeled "BANQUE DE FRANCE". Two figures are in the foreground - a man in a long coat and hat, and a woman in a dress. In the background, construction laborers are working near archways or tunnels. The image is in black and white with strong line work and shading, styled like 19th-century satirical illustrations. French text at the bottom references the new cellars of the Banque de France.
