Summary
Drawing shows a man in profile, drawn as an elongated caricature except for his head which is large, standing in front of a billiards table, holding a cue in his left hand and applying chalk to his cue stick with his right hand. He has the letter "S" coming out of his mouth in a stream starting with a very small letter and rising up to the top of the drawing to a much larger "S" as if he were hissing. The text above the drawing is "M. Le Commissionaire" / pussun nay Kurté".
