The redheaded infant is lying naked by the lion's paws on a white cloth. On the cloth and infant are some spots of blood. The woman has long red hair and has her clasped hands as though begging the lion to stop. She is wearing a long purple dress with a leafy pattern and long sleeves. Around the image is a border of white callum lilies and their green leaves. On the back is the poem "Le cygne et le cuisinier" by Jean de la Fontaine, and an image for the poem at the bottom. The black and white illustration shows a swan and a young goose or swan, with the cook standing on the shore by trees. Around the image and poem is a red border of different plants and flowers.
