Seven court officials wearing uniforms with order ribbons across their shoulders are depicted with their backs to the viewer on a rectangular, vertically oriented sheet with rounded corners. Three of them hold grand court marshal staves in their hands. 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 lower part of the sheet, there is an inscription in French executed in black ink: “Voisinage désavantageux // Truc pour paraître plus haut que les autres” (translated as: Unfortunate neighborhood // A trick to appear taller than the others).


The author's signature and date are located in the lower-right corner: Зichy 89.
