What the image shows
A caricature of a man with exaggerated features, including large bat-like wings and a wide grin, holding a ballot box labeled 'URNE ELETTORALE'. The text reads 'Je suis oiseau, voyez mes ailes. Je suis souris, vivent les rats.'.
Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
