 On the right of the composition, a young female cook is occu- pied in cleaning the entrails of a calf, the head of which lies on a bench in the opposite corner and its hide on the ground. In the background, an old man holding a glass in one hand, and a pipe in the other, converses with a woman by the fireside. Another man, seen from behind, is leaving the room.
