Abstracted summary
A man bears two cock baskets filled with a cock each upon his shoulders by means of a shoulder pole. Another man, right, looks on as dogs snarl left and right. Crudely drawn. On back (in Bateson's hand?): "Owned by K. Mershon. Collected by her from a man selling paintings at her house -- he tried to hide it but she snatched it + he said under pressure that it is the work of a child, but had not yet been shaded -- that when shaded it would be sold as the work of an adult."
