This is a black and white illustration depicting a ghostly figure standing on a cobblestone street outside an arched stone entrance, presumably to some kind of institution as indicated by the text "PALAIS DES" etched above the door. The figure is shrouded in a flowing white cloak, with one arm extended to touch the stonework above the entrance. The figure's face is obscured, hidden beneath the hood or perhaps intentionally left blank, enhancing the spectral quality of the character. Three ethereal orbs float in the sky, evoking the sense of a haunted or otherworldly atmosphere. In the foreground to the left, there are what appear to be a broken wooden barrel and some type of container with a handle. The setting implies a desolate or abandoned locale with the background subtly featuring buildings and what might be a vacant street receding into the darkness. At the bottom of the image, there's text which reads "La Caricature (Journal)" followed by a number (possibly an issue number) and "325." A signature "J.J. Grandville" - likely the artist's name - is found at the lower right of the illustration. The words "Chez Aubert gal véro Dodat" and "Lith de Langlumé et de l'Abbaye" are typeset along the bottom edge as well, indicating the print shop and lithographer. The overall style suggests that this is a 19th-century work, possibly a satirical or politically charged piece given its association with "La Caricature," which was a French satirical magazine published in the 1830s. The image evokes themes of haunting or judgement, perhaps conveying a social or political commentary relevant to the era in which it was created.
