The work depicts a man in a long coat, standing in an office, holding a letter.

Gavarni's use of detailed lines and delicate shading brings a sense of realism to the scene, capturing the essence of the period's working class. This work embodies the essence of Gavarni's artistic style, which focused on the lives and experiences of the everyday Parisian citizen during the 19th century.
