An interior scene is depicted on a rectangular, vertically oriented sheet with rounded corners. Two court attendants (footmen) in pinkish-red liveries are shown next to pots standing on a table, holding tricorn hats in their lowered hands. One of the attendants is touching a pot, while the second stands with a white handkerchief held to his face.In the upper center of the sheet, the series title is written in black ink: “FÊTE À LA COUR” (translated from French as: Court Celebrations). In the upper-left corner, a dialogue executed in black ink is written in German and French: “(Deux plaintes), // ‘Es ist schrecklich warm!’ // ‘La soupe va geler!’ ” (translated as: (Two Complaints) // “It is terribly hot!” // “The soup will freeze!”).
