A young woman under an enormous heart-shaped coiffure. In the topmost section of her hair is a kitchen fireplace with meat roasting on a spit, and a monkey in a fool's cap sitting on the chimney admiring itself in a mirror. On either side of the hair are kitchen implements, poker, tongs and shovel, a mop, broom, etc., and, in the center, a large wheel of cheese infested by mice. Various vegetables are assembled around the cheese, while a dog and cat confront one another below it.
