This is a drawing of a butcher's shop display with meat hanging and characters observing. In the foreground, there are two figures dressed in long, dark coats and bonnets standing in front of a display counter laden with various cuts of meat. Behind them, hanging from hooks, are larger sections of meat, such as beef or lamb carcasses. The artist has used contrasts between light and shadow to create depth and expression. The dialogue at the bottom suggests an interaction related to the meat.
