It shows a toy-mender's workshop, furnished with shelves, drawers, a work table and a desk.

The workshop is evidently a room in a cottage, rather than a shop, with a wooden door to one side: bottles & pots of glue, paint etc & brushes stand about the room, with dolls & parts of dolls (including a large dressed doll sitting in a trunk on the floor, & two complete dolls, one of them dressed, hanging in the window); there is also an open fire, and a pair of bellows.
