The interior of a poor wooden house, a parson's family of four gather around a table covered in a tablecloth worn with holes. They are eating beans, while he sits on the right, gnawing a bone; his wife (left) nurses the youngest child. Behind her on the wall are two shelves of books above which hangs a bird in a birdcage. To her left, the curtains around the canopy bed are also torn. A small cat (foreground) looks up at the parson. On the floor beside the parson's chair lies a sheaf of papers with the title "Charity sermon".
