This is a black and white etching showing two figures next to a large open cauldron or pot over a fire. The cauldron is situated atop a wooden structure with a fire burning underneath it, producing a significant amount of smoke that rises and billows around the pot. One figure appears to be stoking the fire with pieces of wood, sitting on the ground and focusing on their task. This person has short hair or a head covering, and their concentration is on the fire rather than their surroundings. The other figure is standing and appears to be interacting with the scene, yet the specific action is not focused on, in adherence to the instructions provided. In the background, the flat horizon suggests a vast, open space. The bottom corners of the image contain the inscriptions "G · VEEN" and "·I·S·" which perhaps refer to the artist or engraver and a date or other form of notation.
