Figure descriptions
Four young women and a cat kneel and sit in front of an oven. One woman holds food
in tongs over the fire, while a second
woman reaches her hand towards the heat. A kettle sits on top of the stove. Behind
the four women, two kittens play with one of the
women’s skirts. There is a plate of food on the ground behind the kittens, and morsels
of food spill onto the floor. Beside the
women, a man leans over and smokes a pipe. A second man and a fifth woman stand and
converse beside the smoking man. In the
background, a woman pours apples into a barrel of water. A crowd of women and children
surround the barrel. There is a clock on the
wall. Dishes line a cabinet in the background. 2/3-page illustration contained within
