Le Déménagement de la censure

Eugène Delacroix, vers 1821

This is a drawing of a scene with a group of characters on a cart. The cart is crowded with figures wearing surreal and exaggerated costumes. Features include large hats, exaggerated noses, and masks. Pairs of scissors float above the cart. On the right, a creature resembling a winged demon or dragon is present. The background includes a building with a sign "Maison à louer" (House for rent). The drawing has a satirical quality, likely pointing to societal or political commentary with its caricatured and exaggerated figures.
