Overhead view of a dead child. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within an ink frame. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins.
A lifeless infant, swaddled in a shroud, lies in a hole dug in the ground.
To the right of the drawing are two feet, probably those of one of his parents.
The scene is inspired by a relief in the Musée de Sainte-Croix in Poitiers.
