Seven figures are shown. The semi-nude figure in the left-most corner is depicted with the raised hands in the gesture of capturing the butterfly, while the headless figure holds the netting on the head with one hand, and the other hand the chain with which is tied the umbrella from which one pair of legs and one arm shows. This hand holds scissors and cuts the candle flame in candlesticks held by a hand of semi-nude men. The same male figure pulls the knee-length hosiery and halter of the female figure in the right corner. In the central part of the composition is the figure of the masked face with the cigarette in one hand, while the other hand is on this knee. Behind, to the left is a nude female figure without a head, holding a leaf in one hand. The drawing has more floating inscriptions and three inscriptions in balloons (central top, bottom and right).
