This is an etching showing two figures involved in the process of smoking fish. The etching style suggests it is an historical or retrospective representation, likely intended to convey a sense of daily life or practice from a specific time period or culture. On the left side, one figure is standing with a spear, loincloth, and bearing muscular physique, while holding a staff that appears to be used to tend to the fish on the smoking apparatus. The apparatus itself consists of a framework on which multiple large fish are suspended horizontally above a sizable fire, indicating a method of preparing or preserving the fish through smoking. On the right side, the other figure is manipulating a large, vertical pole or stick into the ground, which could be a part of the setup for smoking, perhaps to adjust the height or position of the fish. The fire beneath the fish is energetic, with flames and smoke emanating upwards, indicating active cooking or smoking. In the background, an elaborate construction of interlocking beams suggests a man-made or engineered aspect to the fish-smoking setup, with attention to detail that includes the precise angling of the beams. The ground beneath them is lightly detailed, giving a sense of an outdoor environment. The figures' positions and activities, combined with the smoking structure, focus the etching on the theme of food preparation technology in what might be a traditional or historical context.
