This is a drawing of an interaction in a butcher shop. The scene captures a burly butcher holding a cleaver, leaning over a countertop with cuts of meat visible. The setting is a typical butcher shop with various cuts of meat hanging in the background. The butcher is responding to a woman standing across from the counter, holding a basket. The illustration is done in a caricature style with bold lines and exaggerated features. The caption below reads "la liberté de la boucherie."
