The image depicts a careless worker, unintentionally allowing a tumble of rocks to fall down upon an unsuspecting gentleman below. The gentleman, dressed in formal attire, is shown with a look of surprise and fear on his face as he attempts to evade the cascading boulders. The worker, oblivious to the danger he has caused, calmly reassures the man with the words, "Don't be afraid, sir... it's millstone, it doesn't stain!" This humorous and lighthearted caricature was created by the renowned French illustrator, Benjamin Rabier, who was a regular contributor to the prestigious French magazine "Les Maitres de la Caricature."
