You see three funny guys in a big basin. They're wearing silly hats and looking at each other. These hats are labeled "ÉTEIGNOIR" which is French for "extinguisher" or "snuffer". They seem to be joking around. The artist is making fun of school teachers in a lighthearted way. Check out lithography to learn more about the technique used to create this image.
