Watercolor drawing of a caricatured tailor standing in profile to the left revealing an enormous paunch. He stands before a railing on a boardwalk with the ocean waves below. He desperately clutches a small girl in his left arm, a cane between his legs, and fumbles with an umbrella as a forcible gale blows away the remainder of his possessions including a pattern book, wig, hat, the child's bonnet, and tape measure. A dog crouches on his side in the lower left
