This drawing shows a strange, bulbous ship stuck in a stormy sea. Jagged waves crash around it, and sharp mountain peaks loom in the background. The sky is dark and swirling, with a faint ringed planet floating above. The ship looks like a mix of a submarine and a blimp, with round windows and a flag on top. The text at the bottom reads *"Trip to the Moon"* in English and French, hinting at a playful take on space travel. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to create drama and movement.
