In a country setting with cows and a windmill in the background, a young milkmaid sits on a bench under an oak tree, receiving a ribbon from a young sailor seated beside her. Another young girl looks on from behind, while the milkmaid's country suitor stands behind sulkily scratching his head. A dog paws at the milkmaid's lap while another drinks from the milking pail

A diorama consisting of 6 engraved cardboard leaves that give a perspective view through a peep hole of a contemporary public boulevard, a walled middle-European town in the background, with a lively crowd. The first panel apparently shows the bordello's exterior, to the left a man leans out of a window to admire a woman (who takes a rose from a boy) and to the right one man steps from the door as another, hand seeking out his purse, is about to proceed in. In other panels may be seen young women pointing men toward the doorways or leading them there
