Description:

A stooped figure wearing a hat and a tattered cloak, carrying two axes on their shoulder, is seen from behind as they walk toward a medieval-looking city, with towers and spires silhouetted against the night sky.

The caption reads in the original French: Se transporte à Chinon, ville antique, voire première du monde.
