A thin, ragged group of sansculottes sit on corpses around a table and feast on a decapitated head; behind them and above them are piles of body parts. An old woman squats before a fire basting the body of child that has been lashed to a spit. Three small children sit on the floor before a tub filled with entrails. On the wall above the fireplace is a stick figure labelled 'Petion' ; he holds an axe in one hand and a decapitated head in the other. To the sideis another drawing of a headless man labelled "Lewis le Grand."

A very fat man, stuck in a turnstile in a passage between two buildings, is helped by a young boy (right) with a suitcase (a boot-black?) and a man in fur cap, perhaps a carrier whose handcart leans against the wall (left). The passage is identified on the left as "Passage de la Boule Rouge". A poster on the building on the right warns, "Avis aux etrangers sur les dangers de Paris"; below this advice is the printmaker's name and the imprint statement
