The image shows a scene from Charles Perrault's fairy tale of a cunning cat who makes his master, Marquis de Carabas, pretend to drown in a river. Here you can see Marx trying to get out of the water, worried about his fate. Around it there is green vegetation, and in the background you can see a hill with swaying trees. The cat with a cunning smile stands on the shore and watches what is happening, planning the next action. This picture vividly illustrates the comedic and adventure elements of the fairy tale.
