A woman and a man are merrily drinking together in an attic, by the light of a lantern.
This illustration features at the beginning of the tale “Le jeûne rompu” (The broken fast).

The caption reads in the original French:

À son repas ayant bien fait honneur,
En fut plus tendre envers son pourvoyeur.
