Summary
A prosecuter stands behind a desk in the corner of his office, talking with a woman who holds a document in her hand. Two men stand in line behind the woman with the document, another woman enters through the doorway, and another man is visible beyond the doorway in the front hall. A boy is leaning over a basket set on the floor. The basket has a high straight back and a strap attached. A dead rabbit hangs over the back, and a pile of fruit is on the floor at its base. On the desk are sheaves of paper and writing utensils. Slips of paper are clipped to the wall behind the desk along with an almanac for the year 1633. Also hanging from the walls are labeled sacks containing documents, and a shelf full of books. Two chickens and a basket of eggs rest at the base of the prosecuter's desk.
