The interior of a kitchen in a French inn, with figures including that of a curé conversing in a bland way with a man who, standing in huge sabots, holds a glass of drink; his hat is of a peculiarly extravagent shape. A woman with both hands under her apron is bowing to the curé; next to her a very tall and lean postillion is taking snuff from his box; he wears the customary enormous boots of his class. A boy in big wooden shoes clatters across the floor and wears a long queue
