This is a black and white engraving depicting a whimsical scene of anthropomorphic animals dressed in 19th-century attire. Four animals, resembling goats, are the central figures. They are all standing upright and wearing clothing, including coats, vests, and tall top hats. To the left, a goat is standing on its hind legs, wearing a brown coat and a tall black top hat. It appears to be looking towards the center of the scene. Next to it is another goat, wearing a long coat and holding a rifle. It also wears a hat. In the center, a goat is shaking hands with another goat. The goat shaking hands is wearing a light-colored coat and a tall top hat. The other goat is wearing a dark coat and a tall top hat. In the foreground, there is an open box with a few small animals (possibly rabbits or rodents) inside. Above the animals, there is a sign that reads 'BOIS DE BOULOGNE' in capital letters. The scene is set in a park or wooded area, as suggested by the sign and the surrounding foliage. The style of the engraving is detailed and intricate, with fine lines used to create texture and shading. The overall impression is one of satire or caricature, with the animals behaving like humans in a humorous way.
