Copy of a 17th-century engraving "Mardi Gras on an Ox" preserved at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.

This roundel, painted in silvery yellow grisaille, depicts a plump figure riding a fat ox. He holds a broom in his left hand and a long pick in the other, on which are skewers of bacon, a suckling pig, and other victuals. He wears a pot on his head, and various cooking utensils protrude from his back. At his waist, he carries a satchel and two poultry behind him. He seems to be heading off to battle.

It is an allegory of Mardi Gras. There is an abundance of food, and the figure advances valiantly to prepare for the fast.

Personally, it reminds me of the women who accompanied soldiers during battles in Europe from the 17th to the end of the 19th century. Rarely highlighted by historians, they ensured the supply of food, tobacco, and other goods. They washed linens and did housework.
