A monkey roasts chestnuts on top of a laundry stove. The monkey holds a cat tightly in its arms and manipulates the cat’s paw to use as a roasting utensil. The cat tilts its head backward and appears to yowl. A hot iron sits on the laundry stove. A basket sits on a shelf above the stove. It is covered with multiple blankets. A kitten pokes its head out of the basket and a second kitten stands beside the basket, arching its back and watching the monkey. There are additional object and cloths strewn about the dark room.
