Watercolor depicting a scowling elderly merchant wearing a floppy hat and apron. She stands a table on which her wares are laid; she leans on a knife, stabbed point-down into the table's surface. On the table are a crude balance scale for weighing the various goods on offer, a bucket and cutting board, and piles of oranges and cherries. Behind her (right) walks a disheveled passerby carrying a rolled document under his arm; on the left monkey climbs a ladder to reach a banner with a fierce hyena image and a title: The laughing hyena from Patria quite alive. A parrot is perched up high on the right edge of the banner
