"Satire on the changing fashions for women, with women in a shop buying new heads, backsides, legs etc."--British Museum online catalogue
Interior of a crowded shop, with shelves of elaborately-coiffed human heads. A sword lies on the floor, evidently having been employed to behead a lady who stands having her new head put in place by a shop assistant. Next to her is another lady having her head struck off by a man wielding mallet and chisel. On the far right a tall lady appears to be shopping for false bosoms and derrières. The doors to the shop bear signs "Avis au public: Têtes a changer." With 18 lines of French verse below design
