Summary: Print shows (on the left) an aristocrat and a clergyman, each with a hand on a low post, and a member of the Third Estate placing both of his hands on top of the others. 'Pied de BÅ“uf' is a pun on 'Å’il de BÅ“uf' suggesting that this is how the Third Estate sees things.

On the right is a portrait of a patriotic accountant keeping a tally sheet of those paid, on his table are nine severed heads, he shows a balance due of 11 heads.
