Summary
Print shows the shoemaker of the song's title seated at a table spread with food, facing left, eating a large ham which sits before him, as a group of five men and women (one of whom is identified as "le maquignon") look on and laugh; below the table is a bucket of salad, and on a chest visible through a doorway at right are a pair of shoes, with a boot hanging on the wall above. An illustrated calander hangs on the wall behind the shoemaker, with the words "Le meusnier a l'anneau" visible at head.
