A bear is preparing to plunge Wily Beaver into a cauldron full of boiling water as two women look on. The main elements of the engraving are in place: trees in the background, women holding each other by the shoulder at the centre. On the left, the huge bear holds the beaver with one paw by the skin of his neck, with a spoon in his other hand leaving no doubt as to his intentions. Finally, we see the cauldron on the fire surrounded by stones.
