The image displays a man working with a hog suspended by its hind legs. A table to the left holds items such as a large bowl, two lidded pots, and vegetables. A window with crisscrossed panes lets in light behind the man. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of beige and black. Objects and the man are positioned around a table in front of the viewer, with the man leaning towards the hog against the right wall.
