This is a black and white print depicting a scene of emotional farewell. The setting appears to be a dimly lit, 18th-century room. A standing figure on the right side leans over to embrace a seated figure who gestures expressively. Behind them, another figure reaches out towards the seated figure, while one beside them lowers their head in a sorrowful manner. On the left, a person kneels on the floor with their hands tied, flanked by a figure clad in armor. Various objects are scattered on the table and floor, which contribute to a sense of chaos and despair in the scene. The caption "LES ADIEUX DE CALAS A SA FAMILLE" implies a tragic farewell within the family of Calas.

The image depicts a somber scene of a family farewell. A woman, presumably the matriarch, is lying in a bed surrounded by several other figures. Some appear to be family members bidding her farewell, while others seem to be servants or attendants in the room. The woman appears to be in a state of distress or illness, suggesting this is a deathbed scene. The lighting and composition create a dramatic, chiaroscuro effect, adding to the melancholic mood of the image.
